The Coral Reefs of Abaco

by Conch SaladConservation, Science, UnderwaterPosted on Comments are Disabled

These children are here to tell you what they love about the Coral Reefs of Abaco!

Corals may be in trouble, but there are lots of great solutions to help. So students, fishermen, and scientists are all working together to preserve these fish filled places for the future.

What is your favourite fish? Where is the best reef in the Bahamas? Leave us an answer!

Over the next year we will be working on a feature length documentary about reefs, and will be posting short videos to promote. Stay tuned!

Andros: Living off the Land & Sea

Here we present the award winning film “Andros: Living off the Land and Sea.”

 

 

We made it several years ago, but there always seems to be a demand to see it again. We would love to make more films like this, and you can help us figure out what works and what doesn’t.  What island would make a great film? Take the survey and leave us a comment!

Leave your comments here.

Most of the great music in the film is from Andros! Elon Moxey and Joseph Spence in particular, plus many of the old hymnals.

This film was made with a lot of help from the local people and businesses, and The Nature Conservancy, The Andros Conservancy and Trust, and the Bahamas National Trust.

Features: crabbing, bonefishing, sponging, spearfishing, birding, blue holes and more! So much to see and do in our ‘backyard’!

Although Cross Harbour is in the remote south of the island of Abaco, and is crown (public) land, it is under direct threat from foreign real estate development and marina construction. Here are the reasons why locals and scientists want to protect this area and ensure that it remains open and accessible to all residents and visitors. The first in a three part series about proposed parks in Abaco, Bahamas. Let us know what you think!

Fowl Cay: The Diving Experience

by Conch SaladHighlightsPosted on One Comment

Abaco’s Fowl Cay became a Bahamian National Park in 2009, 35 years after the first proposal for its protection was submitted to the Government. A later video will look at that process, this is the story of divers and their experience at Fowl Cay. The dive industry was a major factor in the Park’s creation. Diving is an important factor in the Bahamian economy and a mainstay of the ecotourism industry. If you like the video please let us know by making a comment.
