The Cross Harbour Project is a creek restoration effort and study undertaken by Bahamian NGO Friends of the Environment and Dr. Craig Layman of the Marine Biology Department at Florida International University. Together they worked to restore wetlands in southern Abaco that had been blocked by a historic logging road used to transport timber to the coast for shipping. Dr. Layman explains. |

Loggerheads visited the site in 2005 to video some of the students helping on the project. That day there were two schools: Abaco Central High and the Hope Town School. Here is the end of the day. |

Later in the project, Jake Alligear, a former student of Dr. Layman, came to Abaco to assist in a tagging study looking at the movements of fish in the mangrove ecosytem and the connectivity of the mangroves to the reef ecosystem. Here he is explaining the process of placing a telemetry tag in a baracuda. |
