As the afternoon sun bathes the Marls of Abaco in golden light, Bahamian boat captain Willis Levarity–locally known as “Captain to the Stars”–stands ankle-deep in soft, warm mud. A broad smile spreads across his face as he holds up a mangrove propagule, before carefully planting it into the earth. Around him, countless other seedlings sway gently in the breeze—their delicate beginnings a stark contrast to the resilience they promise. This isn't just a landscape on the verge of rebirth; it's a testament to human determination and nature's indomitable spirit in the face of climate adversity.
