ABOUT
01
LOCATED IN GRAND BAHAMA
Located on the island of Grand Bahama, 'Conservation Cove' by Blue Action Lab serves as a ‘living laboratory’ that brings together local and international innovators, scientists, NGOs, students, and community members to develop a sustainable blue economy for future generations.

CLIMATE-RELATED CHALLENGES
The Bahamas has been significantly affected by rising sea levels, more frequent and intense hurricanes, coastal erosion, loss of biodiversity, and other climate-related challenges. These impacts have had severe consequences on the environment, infrastructure, economy, and the livelihoods of the people of The Bahamas.

HUB FOR BIODIVERSITY
Conservation Cove acts as a hub for biodiversity restoration with an initial focus on fostering the local blue economy by working to safeguard and rejuvenate vital marine and coastal resources such as mangrove forests, coral reef systems, and the conch fishery.
04
LOCAL & INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION
The initiative facilitates collaboration between local and international conservation efforts and a global network of entrepreneurs, innovators, scientists, and community organizations to develop solutions that benefit The Bahamas immediately and have broader global applications.
