How does the fact that the Bahamas are coral islands affect the area's economy?
The Bahamas are coral islands, therefore, they are surrounded by rich coral reefs. These coral reefs are popular tourist attractions. This fact makes the Bahamas a premier tourist destination and this booming tourist industry brings about economic development. Infrastructure on the most visited islands, especially New Providence Island (site of Nassau the capital) and Grand Bahama, is improved as a result, the booming tourist industry brings about a thriving banking and finance industry, and the locals are provided by a greater variety of jobs and careers that are byproducts of any tourist industry. The coral reefs are also the source of several species of fish, therefore the Bahamas is afforded a decent fishing industry, adding further to the economy. However, being coral islands, the Bahamas have little freshwater as any precipitation (the Bahamas are flat so rainfall is generally low) simply percolates into the rock, away from human use. Therefore, money has to be spent on importing bottled water and desalination. This costs the economy. Also, as coral islands, each of the Bahamas are small, and with increasing population, overcrowding, homelessness, unemployment, pollution and crime result, costing the tourist industry, thus costing the economy.

Was there pirates in the Bahamas?
== == == == The Jolly Roger was the pirate ship captained by James Hook in the 1904 children's classic novel, Peter Pan. In actual history, no. The Jolly Roger is the name for the pirate flag. Seems strange, but the buccaneers followed the international protocol of showing their "national ensign" when engaging in battle. Pirates used red on their flag's to indicate bloodshed, sometimes with skeletons and hourglasses as well. These flags were called Jolie Rouge (Pretty red one) by French pirates. In later days, when the skull and crossbones flags came into style they were referred to with the same name. A solid black or red flag was probably the most common, but many different designs were used. Some other people believe that Jolly Roger comes from the nickname given to the very successful pirate, who seized over 400 ships, Bartholomew Roberts, which was also "Le Jolie Rouge" == ==
