Mangrove Nurseries:
A lemon shark pup takes refuge in a mangrove nursery in Bimini, Bahamas. Mangroves provide habitat for countless species and serve as nurseries for fish. They also help shield the shoreline from storm surges. In 2009, the US Fish and Wildlife Service supported conservation training for local marine resources managers who are learning to quickly evaluate the health of near shore and onshore ecosystems in the Bahamas. |
