Eleuthera Inland Ponds

A scientist at the Cape Eleuthera Institute captures a red shrimp for study. It could be a new species that has not been described. This pond is currently being explored for possible development on South Eleuthera Island, Bahamas. Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas has almost 200 in-land ponds. Some of these hold amazing treasures like a yet-to-be described cave shrimp. One pond even holds the record for the highest density of seahorses in the world. All of the ponds are under threat from development, invasive species and pollution. Protections are desperately needed.
