In 2007, Kerzner Marine Foundation joined efforts with The Nature Conservancy, Bahamas National Trust and Bahamas Reef Education Environmental Foundation to launch “The Blue Projectsm” in an effort to raise awareness of the critical challenges faced by coral reefs
Working in partnership with scientists and researchers, the Blue Project has identified its first site off of New Providence Island in The Bahamas where initial efforts will be focused.
Marked by a blue buoy, each Blue Project location will offer identification to boaters, divers and snorkelers as a protected site receiving the care and protection needed for the reefs and the fish that depend on them to survive and thrive.
Each buoy has been designed as a mooring alternative to prevent boats from dropping anchor on the delicate coral reefs below.
