A very short film about the beauty and importance of Mangrove Forests.
This film is shot entirely in north Bimini, Bahamas. Every piece of footage was shot in an area that is currently threatened.

The people of the island are working very hard to have the area turned into a marine protected area. The mangroves of north Bimini protect the island from hurricanes and provide the abundance of ocean life that the islanders depend on for tourism and food.

Fisherman, conservationists, life long islanders and scientists all agree that the mangroves of Bimini need to be protected.

Please share this video and help people learn about this little known type for forest.
Thank you to The Bahamas National Trust, OceanicAllstars, Island Tropic Air, Katie Grudeki, Grant Johnson, Trees for Life Canada, Bonefish Ebbie, Duncan Brake, Jillian Morris Brake and Michelle Garlough for making this video possible.
