📢New Report Available!📢Via workshops, community meetings, surveys & direct conversations with fishers, fishing guides, and others, the study evaluates the feasibility of vessel electrification in The Bahamas. 🇧🇸
Electric outboards powered by renewables could reduce costs and improve the livelihoods of vessel operators in The Bahamas. A new study shows how co-designing solutions with communities can improve energy resilience and contribute to emissions reductions. library.edf.org/AssetLink/44…
