Bahamas' geological wonders attracting international scientists
MANY Bahamians are unaware of rare environmental phenomenon that drive schools of international scientists to the country every year.
The Bahamas is home to the third largest reef system in the world, the Bahamas Barrier Reef. It sits off the cost of Andros on the edge of the tongue of the ocean. Andros is also home to the largest tropical nursery system of mangroves in the Caribbean and the largest salt water flats in the world. The country can also boast about having the highest concentration of blue holes.
But for all of its geological and ecological splendour, most Bahamians are none the wiser.
