We mapped and characterized coral reefs east of Ras Qisbah, focusing on marine habitats around the islands of Al Farshah, Umm Qusur and Buran in the northern corner of the Red Sea. The research is one component of a large scale marine habitat assessment being completed along the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coastline.
Ten Years of B.A.M.: Rooted in Partnership, Growing in Purpose
Ten years ago, the Bahamas Awareness of Mangroves (B.A.M.) program began with a simple but meaningful commitment: to connect Bahamian students with the mangrove ecosystems that shape and protect their island home.
Since 2015, B.A.M. has been implemented in partnership with Friends of the Environment, whose dedication to environmental stewardship in Abaco has made this program possible year after year. Together, we have worked alongside Patrick J. Bethel High School and Forest Heights Academy to bring hands-on mangrove science into classrooms and out into the field.
What makes ten years remarkable is not just longevity — it is consistency…
