The Bahamas Biocomplexity Project is divided into five main
working groups in order to tackle various research components.
Most of these efforts are designed to intersect to enable
interdisciplinary analyses in later stages of the project. In
addition to these working groups there are several organizations
that meet periodically to advise on and develop educational and
outreach materials related to marine conservation. Connectivity
Working Group NASA, MODIS, 2001 The BBP’s Connectivity Working
Group (CWG) aims to understand how different parts of The
Bahamas are ecologically “connected” with each other and with
neighboring parts of the Caribbean. The group is addressing
several main objectives revolving around analyses of
oceanographic circulation patterns and the connectivity of
marine populations. The degree of populational connectivity for
various species within the archipelago will influence how
various configurations of Marine Protected Areas serve to
conserve such species. Understanding the basic dynami
