Cooperation initiative to improve productivity and reduce emissions intensity in small ruminant systems in The Bahamas through climate-smart agricultural practices and waste recovery. The institutional presentation of CAP-BAHAMAS identifies IICA as the implementing organization and the New Zealand Government as the funder through its Climate Smart Agriculture Initiative. The programme page envisages trials at the Gladstone Road Agricultural Centre, its strengthening as a demonstration and training hub, extension materials and an investment case for accessing international climate finance. The financial and administrative scope of this record is the associated IICA operation 5535-00 with AgResearch: technological and economic feasibility assessments, review of national prediction equations, training of trainers and planned participation of two national representatives in the Caribbean Cooperative MRV Hub Agricultural Work Crew. The association of that operation with the CAP-BAHAMAS name rests on matching country, institutions, sector and objectives; the sources do not explicitly equate the two identifiers.

Regional plan for production, food security, and intra-regional trade. It includes agricultural insurance, digitalization, R&D, and capacity building. It recognizes climate variability as a production challenge

Regional agenda that includes aspects such as Agriculture Disaster and Risk Management, risk transfer mechanisms, climate-smart agriculture, and the strengthening of agri-food systems

The Water Skiing and Motor Boat Control (Amendment) Bill, 2026 of The Bahamas proposes to amend the Water Skiing and Motor Boat Control Act to establish safe speed rules for motor boats in the Harbour of Nassau and port areas. The bill sets a five-mile-per-hour limit or a no-wake speed in the Harbour of Nassau, defines criteria for determining safe speed in port areas, provides exceptions for emergency services, rescue operations and written approval from the Port Controller, and creates penalties for abandoned motor boats that obstruct navigation, marine traffic, port operations or the lawful use of port areas.
