    THE MIDWIVES ASSOCIATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS ALL HONOUREES & FAMILIES AT OUR OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS Jn 2004, Yvonne Bain, Judith Sawyer, Judith Clarke and Lydia Johnson attended a Midwifery Today Confer­ ence in Philadelphia. They were truly inspired and intrigued by what they experienced. Following the conference they met with the President of the Midwifery Today Magazine Jan Tritten and invited her to The Bahamas to hold a conference. Ms. Tritten was enthusiastic and immediately accepted the invitation, "Who wouldn't want to come to The Bahamas?" Ms. Bain along with her colleagues Jennifer King, Cleola-mae Hamilton, and Ella Anderson started putting plans in action to host the first international conference in The Bahamas. A Midwifery Conference was held in The Bahamas from September 22-26 , 2005, under the theme: Sharing The Culture ofBirth. The conference was a resounding success. Many countries were represented, and the association had the support of the Ministry of Tourism, Minister Obie Wilchombe, Ms. Valerie Miller, The Royal Bahamas Defence Force, and many others. Attendance was excellent and the Bahamian Midwives rose to the occasion with their presentations and hospitality. The first meeting of the potential organization was exciting and historical. Twenty -five midwives attended that meeting. The conference served as a catalyst to form the Midwives Association of The Commonwealth ofThe Bahamas. The following Midwives were selected to make up the initial executive team: * Ella Anderson - President * Shirley Curtis- Vice-President * Valerie Miller- Secretary * Karol Mackey- Asst. Secretary * Yvonne Bain -Treasurer * Monique Lewis- Chaplain The team started meeting regularly to put in place the Goals, Objective, Vision and By Laws of the Association.

    The Bahamas Vegetation: The soil is thin, and generally infertile, but cultivation has produced exotic flowers (as well as subtropical fruit and vegetables) on the more developed islands. Some islands have large areas of pine forests. Forest covers 51 per cent of the land area and there was no significant loss of forest cover during 1990–2011. Wildlife: Animal life is restricted to small species, such as agouti, frogs, iguanas and bats. The Inagua National Park on Great Inagua Island is the home of more than 50,000 flamingos, the largest flock in the world and The Bahamas’ national bird.

That population has flourished, despite the presence of invasive rats, and numbered > 300 individuals by the mid-1990s. We conducted a mark-recapture study of this population from May 2002 through May 2013 to quantify growth, demography, and plasticity in coloration. The iguanas from Bush Hill Cay were shown to reach larger sizes than the source population. Males were larger than females, and mature sizes were reached in approximately four years. Although the sex ratio was balanced in the mid-1990s, it was heavily female-biased throughout our study. Juveniles were rare, presumably due to predation by rats and possibly cannibalism.
