Research Programs

In-house research programs at the Cape Eleuthera Institute reflect initiatives undertaken by our staff as they work to address environmental and socioeconomic issues on a local, regional and global scale. In this process, we partner with a variety of government and non-government organizations, as well as scientists from universities and other organizations. These partnerships help us to develop long-term research projects that have ‘real world’ application that also allow for hands-on learning for all visitors to our campus.

Also collaborating with us on our research are staff and students from The Island School. Each semester, students and teachers from The Island School work side-by-side with staff at the Cape Eleuthera Institute, visiting graduate students, and visiting scientists to address focused research questions related to larger programmatic themes. In this way, primary research quickly becomes application-based experiential education that has direct benefits to students and as well as the local community and the environment.

Couching our in-house research under programmatic themes helps to align projects within similar disciplines and allows for more effective sharing of knowledge and resources. Research programs at the Cape Eleuthera Institute cover a wide range of topics encompassing the terrestrial and marine environments, including human resource use and sustainable design. In this way, we are able to take a more holistic approach to addressing environmental and socioeconomic issues in a broader integrated resource management context.
