Friends of the Environment 
December E-News

Preserving the environment of Abaco through education, conservation, and research facilitation.


Learn More


Dear Readers,


It's a busy time of year! The holidays are in full swing, everyone is wrapping up their end of year, and families are coming together...sometimes over large distances. In the midst of what may seem like chaos (at times!) take a pause and look outside. In Abaco the sun is shining, the breeze is rushing through the trees and it's just cool enough to remember it's December. If you're not here for the holidays, know that we are still connected by our shared love for Abaco, and we hope you'll be back soon!


With your help, 2025 has been a successful year for FRIENDS! I'm happy to share the brief impact report below summarizing our programs - which we are very proud of.


Now that my kids are off from school, I'm looking forward to spending time with them and continuing traditions that bring holiday magic to our family. I hope you also find what you wish for in the holidays.


I'm also looking forward to 2026 - a time that we can all come together to continue building our vision of a sustainable future for Abaco!


Best wishes,


Olivia Patterson Maura

Executive Director

The Queen Pearl: A Harbour Is. Mystery

 

Chapter 1: The Pink and the Grey

The heat in Dunmore Town didn’t just sit on you; it owned you. It was a physical weight, a damp blanket woven from salt spray, frying oil, and the exhaust of a hundred golf carts putting along narrow, colonial streets.

Jack Watkins adjusted his tie, a reflex that marked him instantly as an outsider. In Nassau, a tie was business. Here, in Harbour Is., Eleuthera, it was a sign of mental instability or a court summons. Jack was neither crazy nor a lawyer, though the locals looked at him with the same suspicion reserved for both. He was an insurance investigator for Maritime & General, and he was currently sweating through a suit that cost more than the golf cart nearly running him over.

"Watch it, bey!" a voice shouted from the cart.

Jack stepped onto the curb, narrowly missing a pile of potcake poop. The town was vibrating. This was the opening night of the Annual Conch Fest, a week-long deification of the Strombus gigas, the sea snail that fed the nation. The air smelled of spicy peppers, lime juice, and deep-fried seafoods.

Jack wasn't here for the fritters. He was here for the Queen.
