Beyond the legal rights and wrongs of copyrights, thanks so much for drawing our attention to this article.
We had the extreme pleasure of visiting the bioluminescent bay on Vieques many years ago and we felt it to be one of the most incredible experiences we've ever witnessed. I hope whatever is causing this change can be found and corrected and mosquito bay can once again enjoy it's incredibly beautiful state. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

It is interesting that they did not mention the bio bay just to the east of Mosquito called Puerto Ferro. We visited that bay a few years ago. I wonder if that bay is having problems, too. I didn't know there was a bio bay on the northeast coast.
It must be time to race again. My wounds have started to heal.

I am happy to say the bio bay is rebounding. They are still currently studying it but the most likely consensus is the sudden wind shift this winter that drove all the micro-organisims out into the sea. Right now tours are limited to Fridays-Sundays for low season. There was a recent article (this past weekend I think) in the NY Times that had some inaccuracies in it. I was shocked that the NYT would not fact check.. oh well...
