Don’t touch starfish....❌❌❌
This is a request to all tourists, don’t tuch starfish. REQUEST TO ALL GUIDE Please make your clients aware of this.
What happens when we lift a starfish out of water for an impromptu photo session?
All over the body of starfish are papules called dermal gills. Carbon dioxide gases are exchanged for oxygen between the coelomic liquid of the starfish and the water. Essentially, it’s how they breathe, like having hundreds of tiny noses all over your body.
As fresh air is toxic to starfish and they can’t hold their breath for very long, each time they’re lifted out of the water for a photo op, they are drowning and suffering from a build up of carbon dioxide. It’s the equivalent of someone filling your lungs with water for a little while and then emptying them again. It’s not a good day out. When this is done repeatedly, it’s a flip of the coin as to whether the poor creature can die from drowning or the stress of being semi-drowned so many times.
Wildlife are not our playthings. Just because a creature is slow enough to be caught by human hands, that doesn’t give us the right to do so, and the social media attention gained certainly does not justify the harm caused to the critter.
This is an act we’re all guilty of at some point. What was happening to that animal in the moment didn’t cross our minds. But now we know better, so we must do better.

Join us tomorrow, January 25, 2023 at 8:15 p.m. at Cinnamon Beach and Campground for Astronomy in the Park.

This free program includes a Ranger talk that focuses on the ways that light pollution negatively impacts habitats just like more familiar forms of pollution such as carbon emissions and plastic litter.

Ranger Mark will provide a tour of the night sky utilizing a powerful laser pointer and telescopes to direct attendees to find constellations, planets, galaxies, and more.

The photo below of the Great Orion Nebula was taken using one of Virgin Islands National Park's telescopes on Wednesday, January 18, 2023.

To attend, simply follow the sidewalk from the circle drive at Cinnamon Bay to the beach and make a left turn once you arrive on the beach. Keep walking until you find Ranger Mark, who will have telescopes set up about 30-40 yards down the shoreline from the sidewalk.

By now, many have heard the very sad news.

The family of Foxy Callwood of Jost van D**e would like to express our heartfelt sorrow at the passing of Foxy & L’Estelle Callwood’s oldest son SEDDY, who was tragically killed in an accident near his new home in the East End of Jost van D**e.
We would like to express our heartfelt sorrow at this tragic event which claimed the life of Seddy the oldest of 5 boys & 2 girls that make up our immediate family. He was also father to 4 of our grandchildren: Lorraine, Jacob, Lily and Isaac. He leaves behind his wife, Laura.

Seddy was an icon for White Bay, JVD and the BVI and will be missed.
