In a few words...
Island Expedition
is a not-for-profit scientific and educational organization based
in The Bahamas and France. It is staffed by a highly motivated
team of writers, journalists, marine biologists, photographers,
filmmakers, teachers, students and children from all parts of
the world. They have dedicated their individual skills and expertise
to the study and documentation of marine life, environmental
issues and island culture.
The core of the organization is based on extensive
fieldwork and expeditions throughout The Bahamas and the Caribbean.
Founders Dragan and Nicolas Popov firmly believe that there is
no substitute for seeing the islands and the people first hand.
The Expedition has logged thousands of miles living amongst the
Island people and their natural habitat to document them and
their environment. Those individuals who have had the opportunity
to take part in expeditions have derived tremendous personal
satisfaction from this hands on approach. Exploring the natural
habitat, living off the land and the sea, learning survival skills,
and talking directly with the inhabitants provides a rich, rewarding
experience which is forever imbedded in their memories. The results
in books, articles and films allow others to learn.
The high school and college students in the School
at Sea Program are in a multi-lingual, multi-cultural environment.
The students live on sailboats and/or camp and learn sailing,
navigation, diving, computer skills, photography/film, languages
(English, Spanish and French) and survival skills. While many
of the students follow their regular school year by correspondence,
the strength of the School of Sea Program lies in its language
and environmental/ecological studies. The latter includes studies
of whales, dolphins, coral reef, birds
and a number of other animals and environments found in the Caribbean,
Bahamas and Mediterranean.
