Dear Colleague,

 

We are pleased to announce the companion website to Treasures in the 
Sea: Our Bahamian Marine Resources, a new resource book that provides 
educators with scientific information and engaging, hands-on activities 
that encourage students to discover, cherish, and protect the sea and 
all of its treasures.

 

Visit the website to download the book or sections of the book, link to 
resources related to the activities, find out about training workshops 
in The Bahamas, and share teaching ideas and experiences in marine 
conservation education.

Treasures in the Sea grew out of the Bahamas Biocomplexity Project, an 
interdisciplinary study to improve understanding of the potential for 
marine protected area networks to support biodiversity conservation and 
fisheries sustainability, as well as recreational and other uses. It was 
developed through a partnership of the American Museum of Natural 
History’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, the Bahamas National 
Trust, and the Bahamas Ministry of Education, Youth, Sports and Culture, 
with support from numerous collaborators.
