Researchers at CEI recently had a rare encounter with a pod of orcas (otherwise known as killer whales) in the Exuma Sound in The Bahamas.
Orcas are occasional visitors to The Bahamas—they were last documented by CEI in the Exuma Sound in 2021. #TheBahamas #orcas #killerwhales
The Exuma Sound supports a diversity of marine life, with resident populations of beaked whales, as well as migratory sperm whales and pilot whales. The killer whales observed travelling through The Bahamas are thought to be hunting other smaller species of whale.

On Friday our Elementary Learning Center students had a lesson about #seagrass ecosystems with @CEIbahamas scientist and @heithauslab PhD candidate Liberty Boyd. Snorkeling right off our campus they learned about various types of seagrass and the role they play in the ecosystem!
"There's no such thing as a typical day in the life at CEI. Our work is incredibly varied and dynamic, ranging from fieldwork in diverse ecosystems to data analysis to education and outreach. It's an exciting challenge that keeps us on our toes."
-Erin Parker, Research Assistant
Long term trends in shark abundance offer important insights for #fisheriesmanagement.
A decades old dataset of longline surveys allowed us to evaluate changes in #sharkabundance in #TheBahamas between 1979–1990 and 2011–2013.
