9:35 am
the museum but basically that's all the work related on the air. some people like to the place themselves but that this is normal competitive that you have and they get on with your parents you also fair with a room and. living by yourself can sometimes not be good it's become and i say we don't want that to have a good time we want to have a good experience your first apartment this is very real you made it live there that's a whole lot of little solar. our island has limited occupation so on so therefore a lot of these children have interests with things that are not available on the island and therefore when they go off and get their college or training they will
9:36 am
have to go to other areas to get in. a few of them may end up back on the island because of having a health center here or school here but other than that they are not going to be finding a job on the island they may come back and retire but they're not going to be working here and they're right out of college or trading. where to. set up what you say and yet i'm damned if i can that's what. i see let's hear you and see things in your life. and see. how it might be.

it's sharp or always just that's a kind of went down between two pieces of wood and then they they wrote it tight. and used it for spears. and for an arrow. but when there's a lot of history and the arrow heads. we're not sure when we were settled but we were discovered sixteen away and we had our four hundred anniversary in two thousand and eight and that was a big deal on the island so that was really special but indians were here thousands of years before we all were. want to see but. i don't find places like that
9:40 am
very often. they just don't exist anymore you don't have these pristine beaches where you can just go in. and watch and learn from from what you see. it would be a real shame for this island to disappear there's a way of life here that's unique to. this country the the crabbers the oystermen and so forth it's very hard life and yet we get to enjoy the fruits of their labor but it's also special to me because there aren't very many places left where you can see the diversity of wildlife where the wildlife has a place to stop burbs come through here from south america heading up the bay heading towards their nesting grounds and a lot of them stop over here it's important for the survival of various species.
9:41 am
and we're losing more and more of this type of habitat part of it as sea level rise part of it is just a natural changes to it storms and so forth that just happens. it's but it would be a shame to see those totally wiped out. every time there's a hurricane at this place is always a risk it slides they try to evacuate people lots of times people won't go because they want to stay with their houses but the bottom line is that creates problems coastguard and whatever has to worry about the island of the people that are living here and they would rather them leave the island is shrinking every year it costs the government money they've got to worry about the people being here so they feel that really the people should leave and little the mainland.

9:52 am
to be just across from this one this is the west entrance. and but it's such a great set such a wide opening when we get storms and wind from the west the northwest swells waves roll right into the harbor so we're actually trying to. make it a smaller opening here so it'll protect. right and he's in boats and oliver as you come in to the harbor here you can see over to your way off. off all the six that are crap shanties that stores are destroyed because there's no protection here. there's just a family graveyard. of my mom and dad over her that's my brother in law are all. playing crocket that gave fran plus. addresses boder nader murray. they all want out crap.
