Sunscreen and Coral Reefs in the VI

May 23, 2019 by Cindy @ MyStCroix.VI 1 Comment

Call me an optimist, but I’ve always believed that people are inherently good and want to do the right thing when they are informed and educated. In today’s world we are bombarded with information, much of it conflicting and that can lead to confusion and complacency. Having lived through the catastrophic Hurricane season of 2017 […]

Humpback Whale Migration in the US Virgin Islands

Humpback Whales of the Caribbean

Having moved to the Virgin Islands myself in order to avoid chilly New England winters, I completely understand the draw for snowbirds (winter island residents). There’s a strong connection between St Croix and the New England area. Enjoy a meal at Duggan’s Reef Restaurant with all of the Massachusetts college and university pennants lining the […]

January 5, 2012 by Cindy @ MyStCroix.VI Leave a Comment

Invasive. Poisonous. Devastating. Got your attention didn’t I?! Well these aliens in our waters are no joke. Lionfish are native to Indo-Pacific  waters where they are kept in check by their natural environment and predators like grouper who are familiar with hunting them over thousands of years. However, here in the Caribbean, they are a new […]

My Absolutely Bio-rific Week

August 26, 2011 by Cindy @ MyStCroix.VI 1 Comment

Avatar's Bioluminescent Forest

Last week I took the plunge and conquered my fears and after 10 years of SCUBA diving, I experienced a night dive.  What drew me in finally was the possibility of witnessing the coral spawning.  I’m still not sure if I saw it, but what I did experience was something surreal and out of this […]
