The Foundation published the first book in our “Reefs at Risk Activity & Coloring Book” series. Designed for elementary and middle school students, the book guides learners through interactive activities, thought-provoking questions, and captivating coloring pages. Developed in collaboration with the talented artist Ryan Sobel, the first book in the series focuses on coral bleaching. Each year, we plan to add new books in this series that cover all of the major threats to coral reefs. Through this resource, the foundation aims to educate youth about the challenges facing coral reefs in our rapidly changing world.
2025-2026 B.A.M. Student Voices
Throughout the Bahamas Awareness of Mangroves (B.A.M.) and Jamaica Awareness of Mangroves in Nature (J.A.M.I.N.) programs, we evaluate each phase of the mangrove education and restoration process to better understand how students are learning, growing, and connecting with their coastal environments.
Before the programs begin, students share what they already know about mangroves and how they feel about them. As the program progresses, we continue to gather feedback to see how their knowledge evolves from identifying mangrove species and understanding food webs to recognizing the role mangroves play in coastal protection and climate change mitigation.
But the surveys go beyond science content.
We also ask students…
