The stunning cover image of a woman relaxing in the warm waters of Alabaster Bay is accompanied by a 12-page feature story and three additional full-page images of Eleuthera inside. The article, Blue Beauty, chronicles writer Patrick Symmes’ personal journey exploring the Caribbean tropical reefs of Belize, Bonaire and The Bahamas. He includes interviews conducted with marine biologists about the future adaptation of these natural wonders.
In his piece, Mr. Symmes describes the tranquility of Eleuthera and the excitement of snorkeling and free diving around the reef. A travel guide provides suggestions for spots to dive and snorkel, as well as where to stay and eat on Eleuthera and Harbour Island. Mr. Symmes’ visit to The Bahamas was inspired by an interview with Carl Safina, one of the marine biologists he consulted for this piece.
Mr. Safina had recently been on Eleuthera hunting lionfish threatening the reefs. He is also the presenter of Saving the Ocean, a ten-part PBS series that airs through January, which will include his experience on Eleuthera.
