THE Bahamas National Trust is a leading contender for this year’s Go Blue Business of the Year Award, which will be announced in Florida on October 28.
The award recognises “outstanding contributions toward promoting and encouraging conservation, restoration, or preservation of marine life and/or marine ecosystems.”
It is billed as Florida’s premier ocean conservation event. Judges include such renowned ocean conservationists as documentary filmmaker Fabien Cousteau and Jim Harvey of the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation.
The Go Blue Awards were created by Loggerhead Marinelife Centre in Juno Beach, Florida, to recognise individuals and groups that support and promote ocean conservation, with a special focus on endangered sea turtles.
Loggerhead Marinelife Centre is a non-profit sea turtle hospital in Juno Beach that hosts more than 200,000 visitors each year.
This year’s award finalists were announced at a special reception in September. Winners will be announced at the PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach.
The BNT is a non-governmental, non-profit, membership organisation working to protect Bahamian natural resources by building a network of national parks and promoting environmental stewardship.
