We’re proud to be an affiliate member of the Bahamas Mangrove Alliance and to support efforts to protect and restore one of The Bahamas’ most important coastal ecosystems. Healthy mangroves help protect our shorelines, support marine life, and strengthen community resilience.

How The Moore Bahamas Foundation and partners are restoring two of the ocean’s most critical ecosystems

🌊 Happy World Oceans Day! 🌊
Friends of the Environment celebrated by hosting a beach and snorkel cleanup at Mermaid Reef alongside our partners from the Bahamas Marine Mammal Research Organisation, the Ministry of Tourism, and the Bahamas National Trust.
Mermaid Reef is a special place in our community and a favorite site for our education programs, where many people experience a coral reef for the very first time. Keeping it clean helps ensure future generations can enjoy the same incredible experience.
This year's theme, "Strong Marine Protected Areas for Our Blue Planet," reminds us of the importance of protecting places like Mermaid Reef, a community-led marine protected area.
Wherever you are today, take time to enjoy the ocean and show it some love. Every small action makes a difference. 💙

🌎Happy World Environment Day 🌿
As a Small Island Developing State, The Bahamas is on the front lines of climate change.
From stronger hurricanes and coastal erosion to coral bleaching and sea level rise, the impacts of a changing climate are already affecting our communities, ecosystems, and economy.
One of the most powerful tools we have in the fight against climate change is nature itself. Mangrove forests help protect our coastlines from storm surge, reduce erosion, store significant amounts of carbon, and provide critical habitat for fish, birds, and other wildlife.
Through the Northern Bahamas Mangrove Restoration Project, Friends of the Environment and our partners are working to restore mangrove ecosystems damaged by Hurricane Dorian and strengthen the resilience of our islands for future generations. Every mangrove seedling planted is an investment in healthier coastlines, stronger communities, and a more climate-resilient Bahamas.
This World Environment Day, we invite you to support our restoration efforts and help us continue protecting and rebuilding these vital ecosystems. Whether through volunteering, donating, spreading awareness, or advocating for environmental stewardship, your support makes a difference.
Together, we can restore nature, strengthen our islands, and create a more sustainable future for The Bahamas.
🌱 Support mangrove restoration.
🌊 Protect our coasts.
🌎 Invest in climate resilience.
