School Visit

During 2020 Saving the Blue president Annie Guttridge wrote and designed a children’s book which was inspired by The Bahamas, for the children of The Bahamas. Over 5,000 books were printed and we excitedly had enough books to gift a copy to every child in Andros, and beyond!

The book highlights six islands and habitats found in The Bahamas, including: The mangroves, the sand flats, a ship wreck, a coral reef, the open ocean and a blue hole! The book also includes fun facts, conservation concerns and suggestions, an introduction to trophic hierarchy and ‘find and seek’ games!

To kick start this project team members Annie Guttridge and Khrysdovãn Carroll visited two schools and presented to 10 classes, reaching over 150 children! They focused on Bahamian habitats and wildlife as they presented, and then gifted all children a copy.
