Conservation in The Bahamas
Supporting the Bahamas National Trust and the Perry Institute of Science has molded and shaped my career as a photographer and conservationist. The Bahamas has been one of the leaders in conservation for many years, our dedication to protecting our future and heritage has truly set us apart from the crowd. We have created Marine Protected Areas and Sanctuaries to increase fish populations, and biodiversity throughout the Bahamas.
As a Reef Rescue Network Instructor for Perry Institute of Science I assist in the maintenance, management and teaching coral restoration. We are dedicated to reversing the decline of coral reefs and are committed to providing technical expertise and resources for effective coral restoration. With 30 nurseries to date spread across 11 islands of The Bahamas, our network aims to raise awareness to local communities and visitors about the importance of coral reefs and what they can do to help stop the further deterioration.
The Bahamas National Trust is a non-profit organisation in The Bahamas that manages the country’s national parks.
Our mission is to conserve and protect the natural resources of The Bahamas, through stewardship and education for present and future generations. While the financial support of members is needed and deeply appreciated, the active involvement of our members is critical to the continued success of our work. Learn more about how you can get involved and support the mission.
