Looking back, it has been a remarkable year for our Mangrove Education and Restoration Programs. Our J.A.M.I.N. and B.A.M. programs brought students and teachers together in a unique blend of education and conservation. Through our partnerships with the Alligator Head Foundation and the University of the West Indies Discovery Bay Marine Lab in Jamaica, and Friends of the Environment in The Bahamas, we integrated a mangrove curriculum that met educational standards while fostering a deep conservation ethic. Our goals were ambitious: to educate, engage, and empower students to become stewards of their natural resources. And we achieved just that.Check out these amazing photos of our B.A.M. program participants as they showcase their passion for mangrove conservation, sowing their nurtured seedlings to nurture coastal ecosystems. ...

Students participating in our B.A.M. and J.A.M.I.N. Mangrove Education and Restoration programs recently completed the final phase of their project: planting the mangroves they have been growing all school year. 🌱 As part of the project, the students participated in a long-term experiment spanning eight months, which included hands-on work, data collection, and nurturing mangrove propagules. For the experiment, our students took on the role of observers and recorders, tracking the growth of mangrove seedlings in different soil types—mangrove mud, sand, and pebbles. They were not just passive participants; they formulated hypotheses, collected data, and graphed results to uncover which soil type truly fostered the best growth. Equipped with newfound knowledge, our students didn’t stop at data analysis. They ventured into their local mangrove ecosystems to plant the seedlings they had nurtured all year. This was not just a planting activity; it was a celebration of growth, resilience, and the students’ significant contribution to the restoration of vital mangrove forests. These young environmentalists were not just learning but making a tangible difference, one seedling at a time.

Our coral bleaching coloring book is now available in French!Why was French one of the first languages we translated the book into? One reason is that many French overseas territories have reefs that are vulnerable to the consequences of coral bleaching. By educating children in these regions about the threats facing coral reefs, we empower them to become stewards of marine ecosystems and advocates for sustainable practices. Through initiatives like the Reefs at Risk Coloring & Activity book, we can instill a sense of responsibility and environmental awareness in the next generation, ensuring they are equipped to address global challenges like coral bleaching.
