I hate HIlton, I use to love to go to Bimini years ago. Now, they have destroyed the place. I sent them a letter and received a BS response. The Bahamian govt should be ashamed at what they have done. Somebody should be hung.
I think that Bimini I used to call paradise is destroyed by greedy people. Years ago,I was in Bimini,it was beautiful,natural. But now what I see I think,bahamian gvt fuck it up. Man you are right. In 80's,Bimini was my place to hang out when I have nothing to do in miami. I took my boat and go there with my friends (males and females) Adios Bimini.
Hi everyone. Just to reiterate: The North island of Bimini has been declared a nature sanctuary which means that Phase II will not go ahead!!
The maximum (disputed) length for a GW is around 23 feet from memory. 30 feet would be a whopper!
In general if you are going to post here could you make sure that you are considerate to each other - there is really no need to start calling each other idiot.
(jbrochford - I think you meant your comments for h8thesox620, not HEATofEAST92.)
if i may quote from Wikipedia: "the largest great white shark verified and endorsed by experts was 6.4 m (21 ft) long and had a body mass of about 3,324 kg (7,330 lb)"
the 23 foot long specimens are estimates as the animals where sighted but not accuratly measured. that said it would not suprise me if there where GW of that size out their somewhere, probably hunting whales or something.
@cinemaquatics Hi I have been looking at the websites about saving bimini, nothing has really been reported since 2009, the resort and golf course has been built what is left? This has really upset me but I am very happy to read that your campain has helped. I have never been to Bimini but I grew up in Florida and can imagine how devestating it would be if the mangroves i loved were destroyed.
HEATofEAST, you are hilarious. A 15 foot GW is considered a full grown adult. The Australian GW's are a little bit bigger than the African/Indian/American ones. It is possible but more and more unlikely for a GW to reach 20 feet. Thirty feet my friend...you've been watching too many movies. Never has there been a 30 foot GW recorded.
just got home from there. Stayed at the marina on the boat. There was hardly anyone there. The constuction seemed to have stopped. Most the homes were half built. wanted to stay at Big Game Club, but it was closed. Island seemed to be hurting.
Hi Everyone - just to let you know that the wider campaign of which this film is part was successful! The North island of Bimini has been declared a nature sanctuary which means that Phase II will not go ahead. Great news....obviously things may change if the government changes but until then...
It's horrible that habitat loss is happening to the Sawfish. They probably don't realize that they're even there, but if they do, then they are just stupid people. That's like someone destroying your house, no, your whole NEIGHBORHOOD and just saying "Yes, we're gonna open a casino here." Poor Sawfish, I thought they'd be more capable.
The Capo Group, developers from the U.S., is the company responsible for the devastation. The Capo Group previously destroyed beach front property in eastern Nassau (Treasure Cove), and have still been allowed to destroy more precious Bahamian land by its very own Bahamian government! No restrictions apply to what foreigners are allowed to do to the precious resources of the Bahamas.
Been in Bimini numerous times since I was a kid and was always amazed that Alice Town itself was capable of surviving. This is absurd; completely unsustainable. Yet, Bahamian govt. has this reputation.
The Reason Why this is happening is because all the "third" world wants to live like and have what "we" have in the "first world". Because governments are actually made up of human beings when an opportunity to generate weatlh comes by they are going to take it, just like most all of "us" would. The only way that these things are going to stop is for "us" (the first world) to show another example other than the one of "sustainable growth".
What and why are we doing this to our HOME??? Is money the only reason??? Could we humans be so ridiculous??? It is a very sad commentary on ourselves!!! And we do not learn!!!

It is just so upsetting seeing how much of the habitat has already been destroyed. HOW can they be allowed to trash vital environments like that! It is sickening what they have done and are continue to do - and even more so with the hypocritical comments on their website! They are destroying the very things that make Bimini a beautiful, rich habitat for their selfish lust for more money, not helping the environment!
sadly i have an apertment there, thats stops today!!!!!!!
