.....@proudloud.......along with all the cronies......and...officials ....who did not do their duties.....others ....who turned a blind eye....others who allowed the digging up creating illegal beach land .....time to enforce laws and regain the image of nation.

@moncurcool see not in order and there ane many others...www.enviroscape.com/ www.careyscape.com/

On where beyond the eyes can see are many of the vegecrops are in structures and are side roads where the tiefs cant readily get to them. You can understand why erry effort is to do this. And keep it that way. You can dig some of them up looking in yellow pages lol

The aquaponics farming usually small areas, not huge acreage. There is vast potential in farming with now experimental farming in US where crops in structures containing layers vertical where the roots are nurished in vapors with nutrients according to growth etc. Farming that seems to be solely pushed by Govt and Agriculture is archaic farming huge acreage with oxen tilling land. A friend who some years aga had been advocating had been pushing backyard farming and local area market in densely populated urban areas create compost for soil, crops, backyard have competitions money prizes to encourage, have local craftwork etc and have buses of tourists from ships come off and spend /inject new money before govt even got one sq mile area ova da hill organizing businesses same money among themselves. There needs to be total revamping Govt Agriculture to develop, innovate, create better Agriculture to seriously reduce imports.

Plant Nurseries are more than what the eyes see and should have been better advertised in the Bahamas. They not only deal with house plants but have wide operations for instance they have farms, greenhouses growing varieties lettuce, green peppers, cucumbers, cooking herbs etc. They produce continuous vegetables for the grocery stores. The operations may involve hydrophonics lots of timers , pumps, lights, temps, constant attention to monitor, lessen, add changes along cycle of growing caring produce. The nurseries may also have contacts to supply and care of decorative plants in many businesses offices now closed lenghty time periods. Hotel businesses and businesses, home estates, condos etcetc., maintenance landscaping gated communities, condo complexes common grounds areas, hotels with extensive lawns, golf courses, landscaping would require constant upkeep to keep plants it maintaines especially with hot climate already affecting bermuda grass and some landscaping plants requiring constant care.

Better to try good maintenance for constant vegetables from local plant nurseries to be available in the food store and good upkeep landscaping to immediately available to restart businesses hotels , others, than trying restart landscaping, to buy again what is available remove, replace, plants, grass, resod restart. No tourist or business people wants to visit island when it opens to see dried up landscaping.

...."We have that owner of the premises, he is in my custody and I will be putting him before the court (today). I've also asked the deputy commissioner to look into the allegations against the officer and I will come back to the public and inform the public of my decision."

...hmmmmm.......if there is the clearcut Lawful situation to be enforced...then why throw with such clearcut efficiency .....have the owner in custody.....have the owner to be putting "before the court (today)".....AND .......still be "looking into the allegations against the officer and I will come back to the public and inform the public of my decision."

On the maintenance and upkeep not being a strong upkeep seems an anomaly in that upkeep and maintenance is cheaper than in incurring full new rental to private owners with ironclad full rental to cover all costs. The full list of all rental properties by Govt costing some $50 million dollars annually to taxpayers needs to be published.

The poor condition of the Embassy and now revealed publictly is indeed poor. In many other ways it seems not to attract the types of investments the nation needs especially as the condition being '" unfit " for use"

...sink it.....should be along with the captain....The Captain must be responsible for this exposure of this debacle going on for months and months, putting the health of the crew at risk and immobilizing the efficiency of this ship which is a flagship of the nation overseas. Captain given the photo evidence going on months and months and months ...have embarassed all and lost the confidence of the nation and allowing this exposure of debacle to happlenfor all to see and endanger crew and immobilize and handicap nation's flagship. How could this been happening for months and months and months for all corrective rrepairs procedures to remedy situation internally within govt offices ........and now appearing for public ?

If this Embassy was a ship carrying a Bahamian flag this would be a case to put it out in the ocean and put it under Quarantine ..noone allowed to enter it ...and no port allowed it to dock.....including the Bahamas Govt.ports..!!!!

@Catisland boy ...absolutely correct...!!!!...Just recent history Bahamians uses to use the cloth bags containing flour to make just about any clothing. CNN doctor even shows how to fold rectangular cloth use two rubber bands and fold over ends and there is a mask. Nation is indeed serious trouble if people cannot locate a suitable cloth material, from closet to make a mask and have to wait on store opening hours to buy a piece of cloth..!!!!!!

All the directives coming from the Office of the Prime Minister to capitalize on process of isolation as an effective means of starving virus seems best effort at hand.

What needs to happen and in conjunction with effectiveness is to ....get ALL the salaried Members of Parliament .....who fully knows best the conditions of every household in their Constituency area and coordinate with govt resources, churches, agencies to Render ALL assistance to each and erry household to carry out the seems one of best survival chance for all.

thank you bishop c b moss bishop mt olive church ...for trying to seek as much ...food, donations.and parcel bags.....to assist the neediest.. thank you salvation army doing the same good work.

...@moncur....Given the resources the Cruise Ship operators/investors have they can quickly mobilize to rapidly transform area. Freeport has darn fine competent labour force who fully knows that after decades they will give the finest top notch service and excellence. At this point in Freeport there can be only one way but up.
