Blue Lagoon Island Partners with University to Showcase Bahamian Flora

Blue Lagoon Island in the Bahamas has partnered with the University of The Bahamas (UB) to identify and label the island's diverse plant and tree species. This initiative aims to educate visitors about the ecological importance of Bahamian flora and enhance their overall experience. UB students are conducting a detailed survey of the island's plant life, identifying native species and their ecological significance. Informative labels will be placed throughout the island, allowing guests to learn about the native trees and plants. Blue Lagoon Island is an Important Bird Area, and its coppice forest provides essential habitat for over 70 bird species. The project highlights the role of native trees in protecting wildlife, supporting coastal resilience, and preserving biodiversity. This collaboration provides students with hands-on learning opportunities while enriching guests' appreciation of the island's unique ecosystem.
