BERI

13/05/2026

Last month at the Reclaimed Materials Exhibit during BNT’s National Parks Day, we displayed a fishing net that washed ashore on Taino Beach, and filled it with some of the most commonly littered items we find across Grand Bahama.

Each piece tells the same story: what we leave behind doesn’t stay on land. It travels through drains, bush, beaches, and currents... and eventually into our ocean. Some of these items last decades. Others last centuries. Most break down into microplastics long before they ever disappear.

This net sparked so many meaningful conversations, and it reminded us that the waste crisis isn’t just global. It’s local, and it’s visible.

Which item surprised you most? ♻️🌊

Friday morning at Churchill Beach with the incredible LIS Eco Club 🌊♻️

These young environmental leaders showed up with purpose, cleaning the shoreline, sorting waste, and collecting important data for the GB School Clean-Up Challenge.

Real impact starts with action, and this is exactly what environmental leadership looks like! 💚

Planning a school clean-up? We’re happy to provide our pink BERI buckets for your collection efforts! 💖 DM us or email [email protected] to coordinate

Marine litter affects ecosystems far beyond the shoreline. What’s left behind on our beaches doesn’t stay there. Wind, tides, and storms carry it into the ocean, where it becomes part of a much larger problem. Currents can also transport plastic, ghost gear, and other debris across the Atlantic and deposit it on islands like ours.

This debris is silent evidence of a growing global waste crisis.

It’s time to turn awareness into action. ♻️🌊

Join us tomorrow, Saturday, April 25th, at BNT’s National Parks Day at the Rand Nature Centre to learn more about BERI and how we can build better systems together.
