Bermuda's Ecology
Bermuda's ecology is unique due to its relative isolation from the larger land masses. The study of Bermuda's ecology is particularly vital as the island is quite small and any change to its ecological balance may lead to greater consequences.
To learn more about issues directly affecting Bermuda's environment and the efforts being made to preserve it, we embarked on two field trips. The Spittal Pond trip focused on the rocky coastline and sandy shore and we studied the biotic and abiotic features found there. A transect study was also conducted to assess level of diversity and quantity of species found at Spittal Pond. Our second field trip was to Nonsuch Island where we learned more about Bermuda's native and endemic species and how they are being preserved.
On the next two pages, you will learn more about these two sites and enjoy lots of photos taken during each trip.
