The Bahamas Naturalist and Journal of Science is the only publication that deals primarily with Bahamian science and environmental topics. It is produced twice yearly. Subscriptions are $40 a year, but Bahamas National Trust (BNT) members receive a 20% discount. The journal represents a merger of The Bahamas Naturalist, produced sporadically by the BNT since 1975, and The Bahamas Journal of Science, published continuously by Media Enterprises since 1993. This publication is produced independently as a contribution to public education. Views expressed by the authors are not necessarily those of the publisher or the BNT. For information on how to subscribe or to become a BNT member, contact BNT.
