Orcas can be identified by their unique features, such as their dorsal fins, flukes, eye patches, and even scarring patterns. By matching these animals' unique markings to the photo identification catalogue produced by BMMRO, we were able to identify #Oo4, and #Oo9.

SURPRISE!!

We just had a rare encounter with a group of orcas (Orcinus orca) or "killer whales" in the Exuma Sound!

Our marine mammal researcher, Natalie Hodges, was surveying beaked whales when they encountered a group of three animals.

Yesterday, something magical happened in our wetlab.

The #CapeEleutheraQueenConchConservancy collected our first queen conch eggs!

Most of these eggs were released offshore, and some were kept in the lab for observance. We are delighted to report that they've been hatching!

Last week, our #BahamasCoralHub team supported School Without Walls at The Island School to deliver the PADI AWARE Coral Conservation specialty.

Students gained hands-on experience identifying the most common corals found in the Caribbean and the diverse invertebrates that call them home.
