The West End Eco-Fishing Camp Association (WEEFCA) is a community based non-profit organization that teaches children about the environment, water safety, boating skills, swimming, fishing and snorkeling in an effort to instill an abiding concern and respect for the environment and its preservation.
"We are delighted to join the list of partners/supporters who stand with Save The Bays in its goal to protect the Bahamian environment for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations," said Keith Cooper, WEEFCA association's director.
"WEEFCA is dedicated to ensuring that the next generation has an opportunity to enjoy the natural resources and beauty of our islands. We look forward to working with Save The Bays to raise awareness of any issue affecting our natural world."
Founded in 2008 by Cooper and his wife Linda, WEEFCA has grown from a small eco-fishing camp into a large-scale and comprehensive programme that last year catered to more than 80 children in Grand Bahama.
