The Coral Reefs of Abaco

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!

Coral Reefs of Abaco

Isla Tampry, Haiti

by Conch SaladUncategorizedPosted on Comments are Disabled

Often times you see campsites throughout the Bahamas that are closer to the fishing grounds and temporary. We found this site in Haiti on a sandbar next to the barrier reef. It’s crazy to think that this started as an outpost but is now a full on settlement, but that’s the way of humanity right? this is not a place you would want to be in a hurricane!

 

Have any Bahamian campsites become settlements in recent years? Or, because of hurricanes, are people leaving isolated islands for Nassau and Grand Bahama? Let us know here: https://www.conchsaladtv.com/isla-tampry/

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!

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’!
