 area for the rest and recreation of future 

 generations of Bahamians and visitors to 

 our shores."

 Hope Town All Age School and children 

 from all over The Bahainas have been 

 very consistent and persistent in their 

 efforts to ensure that today came about. 



"We, as a country with twelve national 

 parks, are distinguishable from any and 

 all othcis in our region. Indeed, on the 

 issue of environment, we can be justifi- 

 ably proud of what we have done and we 

 can also be justifiably proud of what the 

 National Trust has done and is doing. 



"It has been and oontinnes tolw a very 

 rcsponsi1>le organization, taking full 

 account of economic demands and need 

 of oar country and balandng that in 

 terms of our environmental consider-

 preservation of the Bahama Panot in 

 Abaco but we look forward to the in- 

 crease of its population much the same as 

 the fish in the National Park in Inagna 

 has increased substantially as a result of 

 decisions taken maiiy yean ago."

He continned, 'The government of 

 The Bahamas has banned long line fish- 

 ing. The government has great respc<4 

 for otganirations like the Trust and envi- 

 ronmentalists.*
