The underwater cave system in the Abacos will be extensively documented thanks to a grant from the National Geographic Society. The global nonprofit group will partner with Antiquities, Monuments and Museums Corporation (AMMC) through the University of Miami, to provide the Bahamian government with a comprehensive map of the area. Project coordinators will accurately document the existence of key paleontological finds, biodiversity hotspots, and sites in the aquatic environment and set the foundation for future research. Other partners include Friends of the Environment in Abaco and Bahamas Underground- a foundation established to research caves in The Bahamas.

In October 2015, Dr. Michael Pateman, Senior Archeologist at Antiquities, Monuments and Museum Corporation (AMMC) and researcher, Christopher Davis set out on a mission to document the history and heritage of Cat Island. The pair took a three-day tour of the island known for its rich story telling tradition and spoke with local residents on events from Independence to slavery, major hurricanes to cultural traditions passed down through generations. The exercise is a part of the Corporation’s goal of accurately documenting and preserving Bahamian history.
