For Immediate Release
Save Guana Cay Reef Association has announced that they’ve named Colorado
watercolor artist Tanya Haynes as their official artist of record.
Ms. Haynes has been selected for logo design as well as the development of a
line of original art and related products. Ms. Haynes is donating her time and her paintings
to SGCR. With the sale of these products the Save Guana Cay Reef Assn. hopes to
increase the awareness of the fragility of Guana Cay and its spectacular coral reef. The
Cay and reef are in danger of being completely destroyed by a large developer. The
paintings will also be offered in a raffle in the near future. The Save Guana Cay Reef
Association is a group who resides on Guana Cay, a small island in the northern
Bahamas. Their mission is to protect this natural wonder, ensuring a lasting legacy for
Abaconians.

This protected bay and wrap around beach are bordered by some of the most
beautiful and bountiful barrier coral reefs in the Bahamas. It is one of the most
complete coastal and marine eco-system including a mangrove estuary,
beaches, dunes, and barrier reef. World-renowned coral reef
scientists have predicted that, if permitted to go ahead, this development
will destroy the coral reef in three short years.
>
Haynes will travel to Guana Cay March 6-9 to explore
the Island and dive it’s reefs. Upon her return to Colorado she will start
the development of paintings which will include the Abaco’s parrots, some
5,000 rare orchids, bromeliads, casuarina trees, mangroves and the fragile
coral reefs sitting just 50 feet offshore. Also at risk are the nesting
grounds of the Hawksbill, Green and Loggerhead turtles, all of which are on
the protected and endangered species list.
