Introducing Conservation Weeks

Hurricane Dorian unleashed its fury on the northern Bahamas just over four years ago, leaving Abaco Lodge, Marsh Harbour, and much of Grand Bahama in ruins. Although the island’s infrastructure and communities have made strides in recovery, the lingering scars from the floodwaters still require our attention and aid.

Introducing Project Mangrove on October 10-15th, 2024.

In 2019, Hurricane Dorian, a catastrophic Category 5 storm, wreaked havoc on Abaco and its expansive Abaco Marls. The vital Mangroves of the Marls, essential for the fishery and ecosystem, sustained severe damage. These coastal forests act as critical nurseries for juvenile fish and offer protection against storm surges.

Dorian’s impact disrupted the delicate balance of the ecosystem, profoundly affecting marine life. Recovery efforts must prioritize not only rebuilding infrastructure but also restoring these pivotal mangrove habitats for the long-term health of the fishery and coastal environment.

Partnering with BTT (Bonefish & Tarpon Trust), we’ve established a program enabling you to participate in mangrove planting during select hours amidst your fishing days, scheduled according to tidal conditions. Alongside the regular fishing trip at Abaco Lodge, evenings will feature informative meetings during dinner, offering insights into BTT’s remarkable regional work and highlighting the importance of mangroves for the entire Bahamian community and wildlife.

Join us from October 10th to 15th, 2024, for an unforgettable week of lodging, fishing, and hands-on mangrove planting while supporting this groundbreaking cause. Nervous Waters is committed to donating 50% of the trip’s revenue to BTT. Embrace our “Conservation Weeks” and let’s safeguard the Mangroves together.
