Talk:Geography of Bermuda

Brakish Sea Water

Just as an answer to the person who raised the question, I mean partially-desalinated sea water. That is, the source of the water is basically the ocean (though rain falls and mixes with it), but it has been partially filtered of salt, hence it is brakish (which I understand to refer to salinated water that has a lower salt content than would be expectd of sea water...at least, from the Atlantic Ocesn). I could be clearer, I suppose. :)

This is incorrect; the limestone doesn't "filter out" the salt, the fresh water sits on top of and partially mixes with the underlying salty groundwater. Also, the article Pollution at Morgan's Point (Bermuda) says there are tapped freshwater wells, though it doesn't have citations for that. KarlM (talk) 05:08, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Great Bermuda

A likely source for the name, after the Spanish https://es.wiki.x.io/wiki/Isla_Gran_Bermuda : state_of_the_environment_report_2005_0.pdf  : In total the Island is 53.6 sq. km. (20.7 sq. miles). There are six main islands comprising Bermuda (also called Great Bermuda and Main Island)

However , if nobody in Bermuda actually calls the largest island 'Great Bermuda' , IMHO not a great source, despite being hosted on gov.bm .

Many other sources, like https://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/sites/devco/files/octs-environmental-profiles-north-atlantic-012015_en.pdf (page 35) , have copied it verbatim from the 2005 paper.

Suggest removal of this article

This article includes discussion of flora, fauna, climate, etymology, and a variety of other random topics, but it includes essentially nothing about geography. Therefore I suggest it be removed, or at a minimum renamed to accurately reflect it's contents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:102:B920:E0CB:CC80:425F:C1EA (talk) 17:16, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Cosigned, I too find the purpose of this article confusing. - Rusty Lugnuts (talk) 22:18, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

"Rare giant land crab" (Cardisoma quantami).

The referenced animal does not have a valid scientific name. I thing it should be Cardisoma guanhumi. See https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt; https://www.panzerwelten.de/forum/printthread.php?tid=3639 93.6.120.204 (talk) 08:21, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
