The Bahamas Marine Mammal Research Organization has been documenting marine mammal fauna around the islands of The Bahamas since 1991. To date, we have had over 5,000 sightings in The Bahamas, providing the only long-term marine mammal dataset in the region. These data are being used to address conservation issues such as effects of noise, habitat needs and monitoring population trends and estimating abundance.
Our mission:
To promote the conservation of marine mammals and their habitats through scientific research and educational outreach.
Our vision:
1) To conduct scientific field studies in the Bahamas to increase the understanding of species' biology and conservation needs.
2) To disseminate results that raises awareness and appreciation of marine mammals in the Bahamas and ultimately influences policy makers.
3) To remain a small professional non-profit organisation, proportional to the needs of the Bahamas.
