FRIENDS and BNT hold Treasures in the Sea Workshop

On Wednesday October 22nd a workshop was held at the FRIENDS Education Center in Marsh Harbour. The purpose of the workshop was to familiarize Abaco teachers with "Treasures in The Sea", a marine resources guide for educators produced by The Bahamas National Trust and The American Museum of Natural History's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, and endorsed by The Bahamas Ministry of Education.

Teachers learned more about the marine environment from BNT educator, Portia Sweeting. FRIENDS Education Officers d'Shan Maycock and Enzil Cooper helped lead activities, as well as Candace Key, Principal of Hope Town School. Teachers got into the action by doing role play activities and craft projects that they will bring into their classrooms. Thanks to everyone that participated!
