The Jamaican Awareness of Mangroves (J.A.M.I.N.) 2017-2018 program is in full swing again. In collaboration with the University of the West Indies Discovery Bay Marine Lab, we are working with two schools in Jamaica – St. Hilda and William Knibb High Schools. During the second phase of the program, our year one J.A.M.I.N. students are learning about the mangrove food web. See their surprised expressions when we bring different mangrove critters into the classroom. Then, join us as we take our second year J.A.M.I.N. students on a field trip to the mangroves to monitor their 5 x 5-meter squared quadrats. Students will collect mangrove leaves and then return to the classroom to investigate if their leaves contain a disease-causing fungus. ... See MoreSee Less

Mangrove disease or no mangrove disease, that is the question? Students in our Bahamas Awareness of Mangroves (B.A.M.) and Jamaican Awareness of Mangroves in Nature (J.A.M.I.N.) programs are investigating the presence of fungal disease on red mangrove leaves. Through a collaborative partnership with North Carolina State University (NCSU) and FRIENDS of the Environment, students participate in a citizen science project that provides data to a NCSU scientist studying mangrove disease in the Caribbean. with Ryann Rossi and Friends of the Environment
