This story moved me to tears. Amazing delivery, very moving storytellers. The pride of the beautiful people of Culebra is so inspiring. Thank you SO MUCH.

I've recently discovered your channel and the content is eye opening to say the least. Please continue your great work and coverage on Puerto Rico.

Hi Bianca - I just discovered your channel when I caught the video you did on Maui, which sparked my interest in your videos on your home, Puerto Rico. Your work is brilliant - you present the issues in a simple, easy to understand fashion, telling the story through the eyes of the locals, and it is a pleasure to watch, and makes us pause, think, and reflect as well. You are hitting a lot of the right buttons, particularly about the impact of foreign investment, mass tourism, and the displacement of people - which in various ways is happening all over the world from Sydney to Bangkok, to London to Puerto Rico. Thanks to you and your team for the great work you are doing, I wish you all the success in the world. Ivan M. Paton p.s. You might consider adding a products shop if. you don't have one already, come up with some great designs for t-shirts, cups, caps etc., about Puerto Rico - every source of income helps.

Don't give up the fight!!! Stand up viva Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 💪

I get choked up aftet each video. Keep them coming. ❤❤❤

Nosotros los Puertoriqueños Necesitamos exigir de nuestros politicos que sean estrictos en cuanto a las reglas que protegen el medio ambiente (sea el categorical exclusions o la regla que sea) El Politico Tine La Responsbilidad Ser Estricto En Cuanto A Estas Reglas! Si no de que vale de que tengas esa posicion? No es cuestion de buscar como dejar que pase! Es cuestion de no dejar que pase para proteger nuestra isla y su medio ambiente!!

Gracias por abrirnos los ojos. Qué vergüenza que nuestra propia gente abuse de nuestros recursos. Comenzar un Newsletter para darle seguimiento a estos problemas para que podamos ayudar de otras maneras (económicas, etc.) sería ideal. Thanks for the subtitles. Everyone needs to know the truth.

Llorando 🥺 pero hay q enfrentar la realidad. Gracias por estos vídeos.

People of the Great Blue coast , Fight till the last Blood in your vein if not your children's will be lost in a foreign culture .

Culebra’s beaches and those who live there are the most beautiful in the world! No hay nada que se compare con la belleza de mi Puerto Rico y mi gente hermosa. ❤️🇵🇷🌺

Thank you Bianca for your great efforts, ! The ugly greed of the rich blinds them from the beauty they destroy ! Keep up the fight ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🇵🇷⚘️

My father was born in Culebra, I wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the amazing community there. This is a beautiful video, thank you for showing this and educating people!

Thank you for your hardworking and very informative information. These stories of colonialism need to be told. I wish to tell some of native Americans history but too busy driving on the road. Keep up the good work and very inspiring!

The thing is..once they illegally give these permits and they dig and/or build even a little, the ecological impact is already there and it’s very hard to reverse. It can’t be that the politicians/people who work for these agencies are just giving away permits like nothing, and then when they get caught and challenged, they take away the permit and nothing happens to them. The people unlawfully giving away these permits need to face the consequences of their actions. Otherwise, they’ll keeping doing it for bribes and hoping they don’t get caught and the damage will keep happening. Fixing the ecological damage of even not a fully constructed edifice still involves a lot of $$ and effort to reverse. It can take decades to reverse the damage caused and sometimes, it can’t be reversed. I’ve done some conservation work here in the states and when I visit the island, it drives me insane how there seem to be a lot of ecological violations that many times are ENDORSED or even built by the mayors office/the government. Even some communities in the mountains are like a concrete/asphalt jungle, contrary to the tropical surroundings which you have to look over to see; that’s how much concrete/asphalt some places have. Anyway, great reporting as usual. Proper reporting that’s constantly missing in the mainstream press, especially American mainstream press (I wonder why - go figure).

Tengo dos hijos y siempre pienso en la isla que ellos van a tener cuando les toque ser adultos a ellos. Este video me hizo llorar PUÑETA 🥺🥲😢💔

I Really love what you are doing. Yes in deed.Blessings. Puerto Rico Necesita Atención

Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 protejelo Boricua.

Great work! This what I have been saying for a long time, the native people will be pushed of their land, or lose their land to property taxes or an inheritance tax if P.R. becomes a Sate. Thanks for helping to protect the island.

Reporte tremendo. Que Dios bendiga Don Monchin, su familia y la bella gente de Culebra 🇵🇷

Bianca thank you. Culebra is my heart and home, though the island and waters are beautiful and worth fighting for, the people are the gem of the island. Again Thank you

Every time I watch one of your videos I always end up crying because there's nothing that can be done with the corruption in PR. It breaks my heart.

Hi the problem with Puerto Rico is that there’s so many people stealing and that’s the awful government so much corruption is going on there and that starts from the top and it should be clean from the top I’m down that your resources I’m not going to the people and show like yours that bring awareness to the people Puerto Rico they need to wake up they need to hold the politicians accountable I’m Puerto Rican I was there about five months ago I was so surprised what I saw the people need to wake up and thank you for your doing for the island😢

Love your content, keep up the excellent work. Very educational and informative. Thank you. 👍

Culebra es un lugar espectacular. Gracias por el video!

Dios te bendiga Bianca, keep up the good fight! Incredible reporting, camerawork and editing. Wishing you millions of subscribers so people hear your message of the plight of people under colonization. May we all fight that like hell, like the Culebrenses!!

CULEBRA ES UN LUGAR ÚNICO... que corrupción no nos quite los más hermoso de nuestra Isla. En total apoyo 💪 que Viva Nuestra Isla

Mil mil mil gracias por como muestran las explicaciones y diagramas y lo fácil que se me hizo entender. Los admiro y los apoyo y espero que sigan luchando.

Absolutely awesome work, Bianca!! Great journalism and great production.

Que orgullo ver el crecimiento de tu trabajo, Bianca! Sigue con esa fuerza contando las historia de está isla hasta que nadie los pueda ignorar.

Gracias Bianca y todo aquel que trabajo en esta investigación. ❤️

La fiscalización que hacía falta! Bravo, sigue adelante!!!

I have been visiting Culebra for almost 10 years now and its become a yearly pilgrimage. The first time walked down the little path to Flamenco Beach was such a magical experience. Crystal clear waters, brilliant sand, beautiful Caribbean clouds overhead. Yesterday I walked out to the beach and it brought tears to my eyes. It is now completely covered in sargassum seaweed and so much trash, plastic bottles plastic bags cups forks spoons just left all over the place sticking out of the seaweed. The flamenco redevelopment authority, or whatever it’s called has torn down all the old kiosks and now for the last few years the entire parking area is in complete chaos. It also seems no one is maintaining the beach. Does anyone know what is really going on with the situation there.? They’ve also cut off access to Carlos Rosario. I want to thank Bianca for her excellent reporting on the current situation on this island.

Todo esto es ilegal. Fuerza! 💪🏻 Apoyo desde Italia. 🇮🇹

Gracias!

The production quality is amazing. Great, great content. Thank you for doing this.

You make me so proud of being a Puerto Rican 🇵🇷❤

Gracias Bianca, excelente. He visitado Culebra durante los ultimos 12 años y he sido testigo de todo lo que has presentado en este documental. Lamentable.

This is what global environmental activism should be like!

My family is from Culebra, I love your videos!

Excellent job Bianca! Gracias por este documental.

Wow🏝🐍priceless, I’m from Cuba 🇨🇺 but I❤️ PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷💯, Cuba is not free yet , amazing landscapes ⛰🌊🇵🇷

Gracias×1000.

Excellent reporting and content. Amazing how the media totally ignores these stories. Thank you for what you do.

Thank for bringing awareness!

Friends, I made a mistake and showed you the wrong picture of Felipa Serrano. I show the correct one here: vm.tiktok.com/ZTdUQa7x9/?k=1

We have to fight with our lives for this Island . Gringos are not just gentrifying this is also GENOCIDE.

Gran trabajo, muy educativo y necesario.

Your journalism is amazing!! You’re teaching the history of Puerto Rico that they NEVER teach us in school & NEVER cover on other news stations. Keep going!!! This is so important!!!

Gracias Gracias y muchas gracias. No pude mas que llorar con el video. Tantos recuerdos vividos en culebra y ver como quieren acabar con eso. Esto que llegue a la china y todo rl mundo conosca la historia. Gracias

Culebra is my home for almost 4 yrs now , I love every part of it and thank everyone that fought so hard to keep it this way.

Thank you Ms.Graulau for your report and as always, very informative news and history of Puerto Rico Mi isla that we love so much, wish I can do something to help, it is not fair that the U.S. did these atrocities to the Islands Puerto Rican inhabitants and not try to make up instead of bullying there and taking what was never there's to begin with.

Gracias Bianca. Tú trabajo realmente amplía todos los puntos de vista. Excelente trabajo investigativo.

Thank you very much for such a beatifull video , keep up the good work and God bless. stay safe boricua.

I start watching your channel. and I am very sad to know what's happening in Puerto Rico. We need to form a coalision to protect our island from the corrupted government and the millioners to start taking over our land and natural resources.

So if the Navy wanted to blow up stuff then why don't they go and practice in the Florida keys? Don't they have islands there. Why bother this island ask those questions.

Saludos Bianca. Quiero felicitarle por la tremenda labor que están haciendo. Entiendo que esperar por los gobernantes no sirve para nada. La mayor parte no están para un pueblo, sino para sus propios intereses. Continúe Uds mismo con la lucha de reconstruir su Isla, trabajando en UNIDAD y educando al pueblo que debe pelear por sus derechos. Yo soy de Ecuador y amo Puerto Rico.

Thank you for this report

Many Puerto Ricans protestors that trespassed the Vieques Island's Navy based location, were able to speak to many of the militants that were doing military belgic practices there, and were informed that their country president had paid the US government to come to Vieques Island to do their air missile practice there. According to the news and those interviewed on t.v., revealed that the US was making monies by having various of countries to do their military belgic practices exercises there. Some of the Vieques protestors were arrested, while others that escaped came to the media to revealed what they had uncovered. Puerto Rican governor had no clue that the foreigners from other countries were doing there belgic and air missile practices. Everyone thought that all were only US militants, until many of the trespassers interrogated or questioned those there.
