The ACP supports pioneering programs to protect and conserve marine and terrestrial environments of our shared U.S., Bermuda and Caribbean environment. In collaboration with other leading environmental initiatives, the ACP is firmly committed to conservation efforts and the urgent action needed to halt the loss of biodiversity, in particular, by addressing the survival of species that depend on quality oceanic environments. Central to our mission, the projects we support also provide opportunities for education and training of the next generation of leaders in conservation.
The Bermuda Turtle Project
The Bermuda Turtle Project is an International training program for a network for sea turtle biologists, environmentalists, students, and resource managers in the Western Atlantic Caribbean region to promote the conservation of marine turtles through research and education.
The Bermuda Humpback Whale Project
The Bermuda Humpback Whale Project, Bermuda was started in 2007 by Andrew Stevenson to study the humpbacks as they migrate past Bermuda and to document their lives underwater.
The Cahow Recovery Project
A priority of the Cahow Recovery Project is to establish Nonsuch Island as a new colony by translocating near-fledged chicks from their natal nest sites to a new group of artificial nests built at the new colony site.
Bermuda Dive Site and Protected Moorings Program
The goal of the Bermuda Dive Site and Protected Moorings Program is to protect Bermuda’s coral reefs from human-related damage. The project established and maintains moorings on 47 buoyed dive sites, with 30 of them officially designated as protected sites under the Fisheries Protected Areas Order 2000.
