Welcome to South Andros Geographic!  The purpose of this website is to celebrate and explore the natural and cultural history of this unique island, and to highlight a diversity of stories about people's connection to the land and sea. 

This project is being developed in association with the PLACE network, a collaboration bringing together communities from Vermont, South Carolina, Puerto Rico, and The Bahamas. PLACE stands from Place-based Landscape Analysis & Community Engagement.
