Join us for our first #NavigateWithCare webinar

Every boat on the water has the power to protect—or harm—our ocean. That’s the message at the heart of Navigate with Care: Protect Our Oceans, a global campaign from the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and the International Foundation for Aids to Navigation (IFAN). An official activity of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, this campaign aims to promote safe and environmentally responsible boating practices that safeguard both people and marine ecosystems.

As part of this initiative, we are hosting a free, four-part webinar series to empower mariners, conservationists, and ocean advocates with practical knowledge to protect the ocean through safe navigation.

We hope you’ll join us for the first event in the series:

Navigate with Care: Introduction to Safe Navigation

Thursday, July 24, 2025
10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CEST

Register now

This inaugural webinar will explore the fundamentals of safe navigation and highlight how mariners can help prevent groundings, anchor damage, and collisions with marine life. Our panel of experts will share real-world insights on using Aids to Navigation (AtoNs), following international maritime regulations, and planning routes that avoid sensitive marine habitats.

Whether you operate a cargo ship, ferry, fishing vessel, sailboat, or kayak—or simply care about the health of the ocean—this webinar is for you. Safe boating is not only about protecting lives at sea—it’s also a powerful way to protect the reefs, seagrasses, mangroves, and marine animals that keep our ocean thriving.

This is just the beginning. The Navigate with Care series will go on to explore topics such as the environmental impacts of boating, the importance of AtoNs, and how nature-based solutions like coral reefs contribute to both maritime safety and coastal resilience.

Don’t miss a session—sign up for our newsletter to stay informed about upcoming webinars, campaign news, and new resources to help you navigate with care.

Together, we can navigate with care—and chart a safer course for our ocean.

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…

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…
