snorkeling highlights

Handled expertly by my brother Tom, Paya Bay's snorkeling options include fun boat excursions from the resort's dock to multiple snorkeling spots inside the barrier reef system.

calimesa medical mission

Returning for a fourth year, the Calimesa Medical Mission are once again, this week, offering four days of free medical, dental, and vision services to people in the local community. The group of American health care professionals use a portion of Paya Bay's "beach house" as a temporary medical facility. The care and kindness they bring to Roatanians is much appreciated.

obama creates world’s largest ocean preserve

Vowing to protect fragile marine life, President Barack Obama acted Tuesday to create the world’s largest ocean preserve by expanding a national monument his predecessor established in waters thousands of miles from the American mainland.

The designation for a remote stretch of the Pacific Ocean marks a major symbolic victory for environmentalists, who have urged the president to take action on his own to protect the planet as Congress turns its focus elsewhere. But the initiative will have limited practical implications because little fishing or drilling are taking place even without the new protections.

Protecting the world’s oceans and the vibrant ecosystems that thrive deep under the surface is a task that’s bigger than any one country but the U.S. must take the lead, Obama said, announcing the initiative during an ocean conservation conference.

“Let’s make sure that years from now we can look our children in the eye and tell them that, yes, we did our part, we took action, and we led the way toward a safer, more stable world,” Obama said in a video message.
