Adventures Filming in Senegal

Our filming in Senegal is for a new film the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation is producing for the Smithsonian Channel called An Ocean Mystery: The Missing Catch. The film will tell the story of an ambitious ocean detective, Dr. Daniel Pauly, and his team as they gather information to calculate the world’s total fish catch including illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

“We need to know how many fish have been taken from the ocean in order to figure out what we can catch in the future.” – Dr. Daniel Pauly

The hope is that this new research will be incorporated into national catch estimates so we can manage our ocean resources sustainably for the future.

But the surveys go beyond science content.

We also ask students…

Ten Years of B.A.M.: Rooted in Partnership, Growing in Purpose

Ten years ago, the Bahamas Awareness of Mangroves (B.A.M.) program began with a simple but meaningful commitment: to connect Bahamian students with the mangrove ecosystems that shape and protect their island home.

Since 2015, B.A.M. has been implemented in partnership with Friends of the Environment, whose dedication to environmental stewardship in Abaco has made this program possible year after year. Together, we have worked alongside Patrick J. Bethel High School and Forest Heights Academy to bring hands-on mangrove science into classrooms and out into the field.

What makes ten years remarkable is not just longevity — it is consistency…
