Bahamas key point & benefits
Legal Advocacy
We provide evidence of threats or mismanagement of our natural resources to the legal community, encouraging the passage of new laws to stop the depletion of our natural environment.
Science and Monitoring
We assemble teams of staff and volunteers to collect data while patrolling Bahamian lands and waters. The data is monitored to detect changes in conditions and denote problem areas or threats.
Community Outreach
We offer adult and student educational programs that teach the necessary delicate balance and relationship of us to our unique Bahamian ecosystems, and how together we thrive and are protected by its bounty.
