Located on the white sands of Nassau’s Cable Beach, Rosewood Baha Mar has launched a new series of marine life conservation programs with the local NGO Breef.
The partnership has led to the creation of the Citizen Science Program, which allows guests to complete a three-hour dive course experience and visit the underwater Sculpture Garden and near-shore reefs. The Sculpture Garden hosts “Ocean Atlas”, the world’s largest underwater sculpture, and is used by Breef as an “underwater classroom” to explore art and conservation.
Near the end of the educational snorkeling tour, guests will actively participate in the coral reef’s restoration by planting and adopting their own coral fragment. Breef will monitor the growth and health of the baby coral.

With Rosewood Baha Mar x Breef, guests will also have the opportunity to help combat plastic pollution by participating in a beach clean up. All collected cans and bottles will be recycled by the non-profit organization Cans4Kids that raises funds for local schools and youth organizations.
Through these different programs and initiatives, guests at the Rosewood Baha Mar hotel will discover Bahamian treasures while contributing to the protection and conservation of the local environment.
