BIOS – 2009: Island Invasion, 400 Years of Change
April 28, 2011
Published by bermudians
Part one. BIOS Education Officer JP Skinner explains how and why Bermuda’s flora and fauna have changed since humans first arrived in 1609 and introduces the BioNauts to the concepts of ‘endemic’, ‘native’, ‘introduced’ and ‘invasive’ species.
Part two. The BioNauts make use of the ‘roving diver technique’ to investigate coral diversity at three underwater sites; a recent ship grounding, a several hundred year old wreck and a pristine coral reef. Then it’s off to Nonsuch Island see what Bermuda looked like 400 years ago!
Part three . The BioNauts compare the species diversity at Nonsuch Island to that of the Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve and then, with the help of Alexander ‘Dready’ Hunter, begin the next phase of coastal restoration at the Nature Reserve. After that research scientist Jaret Bilewich leads the BioNauts on an expedition to survey the habitat range of a species of coral found in only one place in Bermuda.
Part four. Chris Flook from the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo and coordinator of the Bermuda Lionfish Project explains the threat posed by the indo-pacific lionfish to Bermuda’s reef system. The BioNauts learn how the lionfish probably reached Bermuda, what’s being done to study it, control it and even eat it!

Poverty in Paradise #Bermuda : The Price We Pay @LucindaSpurling
April 28, 2011
Published by bermudians
Poverty in Paradise explores the causes and consequences of the widening gap between Bermuda’s wealthy and poor, the struggles families face in providing for themselves and their children, and the consequential spiral in crime plaguing the community. in 2000, 50% of black female-headed households with children were living at or below the poverty line and increasingly families are finding it impossible to afford basic necessities such as rent, food and electricity. The documentary gives a voice to the lives of homeless, low-income and working class mothers, addressing assumptions held by many as to why particular people live in poverty. The coalition’s hope is to affect the social and political will, transforming the way Bermudians understand their community and influencing the necessary policies to put Bermuda on a more positive and prosperous path for all.

BIOS Explorer series 2007 – Changing Climate, Changing Coast
April 23, 2011
Published by bermudians
Part one: The BioNauts are introduced to scientists who study and monitor three of Bermuda’s marine habitats: our seagrass meadows (with Kim Holzer), our coral reefs (with Dr. Alex Venn) and the deep ocean that surrounds the island (with Vivienne Lockhead).
Part two: The BioNauts set up a feeding experiment with the help of researcher Kali Douglas. Together, they deploy seagrass fronds in three different locations around the island (a seagrass meadow, a mangrove swamp and a coral reef) and return 24 hours later to collect them. What, if anything, will have eaten the seagrass?
Part three. The BioNauts take time out to go octopus hunting with Dr. James Wood — at night! The next day it’s back to work as the BioNauts go scuba diving with Dr. Alex Venn as part of the coral reef monitoring programme and learn how to control a remotely operated vehicle!
Part four. The BioNauts set sail upon the R/V HSBC Atlantic Explorer! With the help of marine technician Jonathon Whitefield they deploy a deep sea plankton tow to 800 metres (2,600 feet) and learn how the CTD rosette samples the water column on it’s way to the bottom of the ocean. Back on dry land the BioNauts begin work on the 100 year-long forest restoration project at Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve.
Part five. The BioNauts take another break to study a raft of Sargussum seaweed that has washed up at the BIOS dock. Then it’s onto the results of their experiments; what ate the seagrass and why? Why is it important to study our coral reefs? What can monitoring the deep ocean around Bermuda tell scientists about the global climate?
