The Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation (BREEF) is a non‑governmental, non‑profit Bahamian foundation concerned with educating our people about the value of—and need for conserving—our marine environment. BREEF works across the islands to promote ocean literacy, environmental stewardship and the sustainable use of our natural resources.

Who We Are

Our Story

Founded in 1993, BREEF began as a grassroots effort to address declining fish stocks, dying reefs and coastal degradation. The organisation has grown into a national leader in environmental education and marine conservation, reaching thousands of students, restoring critical habitats and shaping sustainable practices through partnerships and advocacy. BREEF’s multi‑pronged, grass‑roots approach ensures a healthy future for all Bahamian stakeholders and visitors.
