The Legal Action has begun. Responsible Development of Abaco (RDA) is helping us to protect our tiny off-the-grid community. We have collected $35,000 of the $50,000 we need...so we are asking gofundme givers to help us bring in the last $15,000.
Little Harbour is a remote off the grid community on the island of Abaco in the Bahamas. Its strong community has worked hard to have as little impact on the environment as possible. All home owners use solar energy, collect rainwater, and are careful with the environment we cherish.
Just south of Little Harbour is the Abaco Club at Winding Bay, a high-end resort with a golf course on 540 acres. Southworth Development has recently purchased the resort, as well as a couple of private houses in Little Harbour. They plan to put in a 44 slip marina, snack bar, 6000 sq. ft. of covered parking, and a beer and bait shop on their Little Harbour property. he Abaco Club members come to the Bahamas for a scant couple of weeks a year, but want to damage our harbour forever.
The amenities they plan to build will only be available to Abaco Club members, and will not only destroy the character of the harbour, but will also heavily impact the endangered wildlife (green turtles, manatees, piping plovers). This harbour is also an essential anchorage for those sailing throughout the Bahamas and this overbuilding will severely limit the number of boats that can find safe haven in this small and treasured harbour.
We are asking for donations so we can fight to save Little Harbour! Please consider a donation, no matter how small, it will make a difference!
