Abstract
In February 2020, Michael Steinberg and I conducted field work Grand Bahama as part of an ongoing effort to map Dorian's impacts mangrove and pine forests Grand Bahama and Abaco using high-resolution satellite imagery. While the bird's eye view of satellite imagery is useful for accurately and efficiently mapping the extent of the hurricane damage, nothing can compare with on the ground observation for appreciating the intensity of the storm's impact. In this photo essay, I share images from our field work to illustrate the severity of Dorian's impact the people and environments of Grand Bahama and Abaco, the importance of these landscapes to local communities, and the daunting task of recovery faced by these communities. Because we conducted all of our field work Grand Bahama, photos and anecdotes from Grand Bahama are the focus of this photo essay. In addition to providing essential, habitat for many marine and terrestrial, animal species, mangroves act as a first Line of defense against hurricane winds and storm surge.
