One of the saddest things from my personal perspective is that I find it hard to have a holiday that is unadulterated pleasure – I always see the problems too!!

Educating the young on environmental issues. Generating a tourism industry to provide alternate income that doesn’t impact on the natural resources.
Informing tourists of the consequences of buying such wares that are pictured here.

Maybe one thing might be to encourage the making of souvenirs in local craft styles that use renewable resources. It would be a harsship to ban the sale of shells and corals until the locals have another way of making an income.
