The Gulf is a relatively shallow area of water with water depths of 50 meters or less for almost the entire inner Gulf. As one approaches Cabo Blanco the shelf starts to drop off rapidly to several hundred meters or more. As the inner part of the Gulf is mainly mangrove forests, it acts as the main nursery for a variety of marine species. This is one of the main reasons the Gulf can support the amount of fish and invertebrates it does.

On Saturday 3rd April, 2010, a group of yogis and yoginis gathered on the deck at the stunning Anamaya Resort & Retreat Center. As darkness fell, the resort's gifted and inspiring yoga instructor, Daniella Cotreau, led us through a wondrous heart-opening practice, while mother nature provided the most beautiful backdrop and soundtrack we could have hoped for. Followed with a song and chant of prayers for peace, by special guest Adam Bolton, and topped off with a delicious organic feast prepared by the resort's chef, it was a beautiful evening.

Native to the Mediterranean and western Asia, mints interbreed so easily it is often hard for even the experts to distinguish and separate all the varieties. All mints have the volatile oil menthol, which gives mint that characteristic cooling, cleansing feeling. The Greeks believed mints could clear the voice and cure hiccups.
