After a successful first year of the Bahamas Awareness of Mangroves (B.A.M.) Program, the Foundation expands the mangrove education and restoration program to offer a second year program. The BAM Year-2 program focuses on monitoring and managing mangroves through project-based learning, building upon the knowledge they learned in the previous year to learn how to manage this important ecosystem.
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…
