  • Promoting  volunteer stewardship events

Conservation Research

In the past we have assisted the following organizations in local field studies:

1.  The  Nature Conservancy ( TNC ):
We participated in an ecological rapid assessment of the West Coast of Andros.  As a result of this assessment, valuable information was compiled to show the  importance of the West Side, to Andros and The Bahamas. These efforts  contributed to the boundary expansion of the Westside National Park.  The  current boundaries protects several endangered species and their critical  habitats.

2.  Bonefish  & Tarpon Unlimited ( BTU ):
Captain Shawn worked along with scientists who investigated the large-scale  movement patterns of bonefish around Andros using acoustic telemetry. This work  is valuable as it will help in ensuring a sustainable fishery through the  protection of essential spawning migration corridors and sites. It is hoped that  this information will be used by decision-makers to give legal protection to  critical habitats for the bonefish.

We are always open to working with scientists, universities and organizations to conduct conservation and research efforts in our communities.
