Protecting Our Reefs. Inspiring Our Future.

At BREEF, we believe that healthy oceans are vital to life in The Bahamas. As a nation of more ocean than land, our well-being, economy, and culture are deeply connected to the sea. Since 1993, the Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation has been a leader in marine conservation and education, empowering people of all ages to understand, value, and protect our incredible marine ecosystems.

Our Mission

To promote the conservation of the Bahamian marine environment that sustains our way of life.

What We Do

Marine Conservation

BREEF works to protect critical ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds that provide coastal protection, support fisheries, and sustain biodiversity. Through public education, school programmes, policy advocacy, and restoration projects, we champion a healthy ocean for future generations.

Environmental Education

We engage thousands of students, teachers, and community members each year with hands-on learning experiences. Our field trips, underwater classroom experiences, Eco-Schools Bahamas programme, and marine conservation resources help build a new generation of ocean stewards.

Coral Reef Restoration

BREEF’s Sir Nicholas Nuttall Coral Reef Sculpture Garden & Coral Nursery merges art, science, and education to rehabilitate coral reefs and raise awareness of ocean issues.

Advocacy and Policy Engagement

We advocate for sustainable development, responsible fisheries, and climate action—championing a ban on oil drilling in Bahamian waters and calling for strong environmental protections.
