The Bahamas Agriculture and Marine Science Institute (BAMSI) would like to assure the public that a recent brush fire in Andros that spread along Queen’s Highway to the north of BAMSI’s Nursery and Shadehouse facility was quickly brought under control through a concerted effort by members of the North Andros community, BAMSI staff and with help from the Mennonite Community.
The collaborative effort, which came together quickly as part of a longstanding contingency plan, meant that at no time were BAMSI’s staff, students, assets or property threatened or affected by the fire. The Institute’s academic arm and farm operations continue as normal and classes are ongoing for students and staff.
The acres of produce remain untouched, healthy and robust and are presently being prepared for harvesting.
