To gain a better understanding of the unique challenges brought about by climate change in the Bahamas, participants visited Miss Marshall’s Yard in Red Bays to understand the impact of forest fires on the community’s straw handcrafts; shorter growing seasons for common crops such as cabbages and tomatoes; as well as the decreasing number of crabs harvested over the past few years. Other field trips included cave exploration at Morgan’s Bluff and open water kayaking at Forfar Field Station, which is part of a non-profit organization providing environmental education, scientific research, and cultural awareness through experiential learning.
