Friends Environmental Camp Visits Mermaid Reef

The Marsh Harbour chapter of FRIENDS Environmental Camp made a recent visit to Mermaid Reef. Mermaid Reef is easily accessible by boat or land, being just off of Pelican Shores, Marsh Harbour.

Mermaid Reef is the site of FRIENDS Reef Ball Project. Currently there are 19 reef balls on site.

Summer Camps Underway!

Last year, Environmental Summer Camp proved to be a popular activity with approximately 166 participants! Campers enjoy interactive classroom lessons with environmental topics, then venture into the great outdoors for a field trip that re-emphasizes the classroom topic. FRIENDS Environmental Camp focuses on Bahamian Biodiversity; important local habitats such as mangrove creeks, coral reefs and pine forests; Conservation and Recycling. The camp teaches skills and provides opportunities for Bahamian youth that may not already be available to them: snorkeling, birdwatching, kayaking and camping to name a few.
