Bimini Sands Supports Shark Free Marinas Initiative
Bimini Sands is excited to announce that we are the first marina in the Bahamas to officially join the Shark Free Marinas Initiative. The purpose of the Initiative is to educate the public about the importance of sharks in our marine eco-systems and to promote catch and release practices for these animals.
Regardless of the media’s sensationalistic & exaggerated coverage of sharks over the last several years, Bimini Sands is instead basing their support of this initiative on the best available scientific research. It has been proven that sharks play a critical role in maintaining the health of the ocean, and are not nearly as dangerous as most news reports would leave you to believe.
As of now there are 10 other marinas in the Bahamas that have agreed to join the program and many others still to contact. The goal is to have the initiative’s education material at a minimum of 30 marinas around the Bahamas, and then expand to other locations around the world. We would like to encourage all marinas to support sustainable catch and release when it comes to sharks and other endangered animals.
