The islands of The Bahamas are a tropical hot spot and rank among the best destinations in the world for its beauty, stunning coral reefs, and a spectacular diversity of marine life. But like every coastal region in the world, unfortunately, the Bahamas is also home to ocean plastic pollution. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of both our guests today, Kristal Ambrose and Asia Butler, the Bahamas is moving towards a healthier future above and below the surface. Both Bahamian natives, Kristal is the founder of Bahamas Plastic Movement, a non-profit that is building a community of education and activism around plastic pollution in this Caribbean island chain. Asia is one of her students from her Plastic Warrior summer camp programs and citizen science projects, making profound change not only within the non-profit but in her community as well. Kristal and Asia’s work is especially significant and relevant given the recent global achievement made. Just earlier this month at the United Nations Environmental Assembly 173 countries agreed to develop a legally binding treaty on plastics to end plastic pollution! Thanks to both of their immense love for the underwater world, Kristal and Asia, along with all the Bahamas Plastic Movement crew, are truly creating positive change for the ocean.
