MSC Cruises is investing in the development of Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas with new guest facilities, accommodations for staff, and environmental infrastructure.
New facilities include an excursion centre, a sea dive and snorkel centre, additional food and beverage outlets, and other amenities to enhance the experience of MSC Cruises’ guests visiting the island.
MSC Foundation’s Marine Conservation Centre and the Super Coral Program on Ocean Cay will be expanded. The Marine Conservation Centre will serve as a base for biologists, house interactive pavilions, a lecture hall, and educate visitors about the marine ecosystem. The Super Coral Program aims to restore and protect coral reefs in the area.
MSC Cruises is committed to sustainable practices on the island, including the installation of a new solar farm, an advanced wastewater treatment plant, and a landscaping plan to enhance the island’s ecosystem. They also plan to increase staff numbers, and support the training of Bahamians seeking to enter the maritime sector through partnerships with educational institutions.
