2023 B.A.M. Student Voices

Previously, you heard the voice of the students in our J.A.M.I.N. program. Now it’s time to hear how the students in The Bahamas feel about our B.A.M. program

Though I do not want to pursue a career in science or conservation, I still appreciate and I’m thankful that I am a part of something so important like the B.A.M. program.

I learned many things during B.A.M. that I didn’t know before, and I learned to appreciate the mangroves.”

– Nick Mildor, Forest Heights Academy

I would personally like to say thank you for giving us this opportunity to learn about the mangroves. I can’t speak for everyone, but I had a lot of fun! Please take care and stay safe.

– Sammia Hyacinthe, Forest Heights Academy

Mangroves are in danger as there are many threats to them. I learned to be more appreciative and thankful for them. One of my favorite parts of B.A.M. was going on field trips to see and learn about the mangrove ecosystem.

– Jaden Alcime, Forest Heights Academy

We need to conserve mangroves for future generations so they can have the same experiences as we did.”

B.A.M. was a fun program that allowed me to connect with different people. I was also excited to be picked among my peers to participate in this project.”

– Vanisha Gaitor, Patrick J. Bethel High School

I learned how important mangroves really are to our society, and I saw the natural beauty of mangroves.”

– Kaiden Knowles, Patrick J. Bethel High School

My favorite part of this project was that it was hands-on, especially when we visited the mangroves.”
