 The Nature Conservancy - Save of the Week: Grant to Advance the Protection of Andros Island, Bahamas
The massive west side estuaries and mangrove forests on Andros Island, where the future marine protected area will be, are vital nursery and foraging habitats for commercially valuable species such as Nassau grouper, spiny lobster, tarpon, and bone fish.

The first step to preserving these waters and the life they support is to determine which areas on the west side of the island are the most critical to protect and include in any new marine protected area.
