Replant & Restore

In 2019, Hurricane Dorian devastated over 179 sq. kms (69 sq. miles) of mangrove forests on Grand Bahama Island and The Abacos, hindering the ability for natural restoration to occur easily. To date, we’ve shipped 27,000 mangrove propagules to Grand Bahama Island to build a remote nursery, and we’re committing to plant 100,000 mangroves over the next 5 years with BTT to help kickstart natural mangrove recruitment.

Shop now and help us to rebuild these mangrove forests in The Bahamas in order to preserve their world-class bonefishing industry and the future of the island.
Through our local partnerships we’re also working to bring awareness to related issues of wildlife health and water quality affecting our entire ecosystem alongside planting a mangrove for every product we sell through our Buy One, Plant One initiative. Shop now to help support coastal ecosystems.
