John H. Perry Jr. founded the Perry Institute for Marine Science – one of the oldest leading research organizations in The Bahamas – more than 50 years ago, in 1970.
Since then, we’ve transformed from a a site-based research facility on Lee Stocking Island to a program-based non-profit that focuses on ocean research, conservation and restoration throughout the Caribbean.
