La Parguera is a small fishing village in the town of Lajas, Puerto Rico; located on the southwest coast of the island. La Parguera is one of four areas in Puerto Rico that has a very unique and remarkable night time phenomenon, a Phosphorescent Bay. When the still waters are disturbed they glow with millions of microscopic organisms known as dinoflagellates which sparkle and create a spectacular light show. This phenomenon occurs only in tropical areas, typically in mangrove-protected bays such as the one found here at La Parguera. Of the possible 14 remaining bio-bays on the planet Puerto Rico is blessed with four, three of which are permanent and so the birth of this blog site.

Congratulations on the new blog. I think it's great that you're giving more light to the area of energy conservation.
I believe that breaking our dependence on fossil fuels is the only way we'll ever be able to improve (long term) our economy.
If I run across something that might fit into your topic, I'll be sure to let you know.
By the way, have you seen our interactive map of La Parguera? You can find it here: http://www.dondees.com/maps_dsp.asp?lvl=4&rte=laparguera&ap=1
We made a road trip over there last year and captured the data and entered it into our database. Let me know what you think...
