Washasha X Sings Ras Mangrove and Talks About Nature in The British Virgin Islands (iTunes)

While assisting the Virgin Island Environmental Council, Rob talks with Bert Lettsome, a.k.a. 'Washasha X', Chief Conservation Officer of the British Virgin Islands in Road Town, Tortola. Bert describes why nature in the British Virgin Island is more diverse than anywhere else in the Caribbean. To protect it and maintain pristine, undisturbed nature in the Virgin Islands, we must all make choices. We also get to hear his song Choices. Much has been said about the importance of coral reefs. Not enough is said about the importance of the mangroves that fringe the shores and protect the coral reefs from choking run-off of sedimentation and algal-blooming nutrients. Bert plays for us his marvelous song "Ras Mangrove," a celebration of all the benefits mangroves provide. He will soon be releasing a video that shows himself dressed as a mangrove tree dancing in the street.
