In Antigua we are lucky enough to have three different types of endangered sea turtles nesting on our beaches. Some of our beaches are so natural that there's been little change for thousands of years. These areas, once remote are now being visited by more and more humans and rock stacking or stone stacking is starting to threaten these beaches and the indicate web of life that lives among these coastal habitats.
Without knowing it, people who think they are leaving their mark with an artistic stone sculpture are causing erosion and harming wildlife.
Please take the time to read some of these links and tell people why they shouldn't participating in this damaging trend which seems to be growing.
