  Vieques Air Link: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Vieques Air Link (VAL) is a small but popular Puerto Rican airline company that, just as its name says, links Vieques with Culebra and mainland Puerto Rico.
The 1990s saw VAL get into financial trouble, but ironically, what was a problem for some, was a blessing for another.
With the Vieques conflict, more and more Puerto Ricans began flying Vieques Air Link every day to go to military camps to protest, and the police also had to fly their personnel and the people arrested in those areas on VAL planes at various times.

Vieques is a small island about 20 miles long and 3 miles wide off the eastern coast of Puerto Rico.
Currently, Vieques is a rare gem where you can enjoy nature from the beautiful beaches to the Magnificent Frigatebird overhead, for it is one of the few islands in the Caribbean that still has its natural resources in tact.
Vieques is a good spot to go birding during migration which peaks in September to October and March and April and for wintering North American migrants, especially waterbirds, shorebirds, and warblers.

This indicates that Vieques is immersed in a sensitive environmental crisis.
The contamination moves from the military practice zone on the Eastern Tip into the air, from the air to the civilian zone and the Western End of Vieques, leaving a wake of diluted contamination in the adjacent zones; from the affected soil which "naturally" phytoremediates the site.
