The Poultry Research Unit (PRU) has been part of the MESI since 2005, with the primary focus of the Unit being the development of poultry research needed to build new agricultural technologies and production models appropriate for small islands. The MESI faces a unique challenge to develop scientific research that can support the national initiatives for sustainable development of small island states (Figure 1).
The Marine and Environmental Science Institute (MESI) at The College of The Bahamas was established in 2005 as a scientific research and development division of The College of The Bahamas.
