The Bahamas Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources
The Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources in The Bahamas has launched their new website. According to a press release about the launch:

This marks a milestone in the development of the agricultural industry and is yet another example of our efforts to modernize the sector and make the best use of modern technology.

The site is linked to three other sister sites already established by the Department of Marine Resources, BAIC and the Department of Cooperatives. Each of these websites deals with a specific area of focus and together offer a diverse menu of services. This website is designed to become an important tool in the continued education of Bahamian farmers, as well as in the effective marketing of farm produce and the facilitation of international trade.

The aim is to make the Ministry more easily accessible to the public thus enhancing good governance in the sector and increasing its productivity; and in this regard the public is now advised that all the forms necessary to be filed for services rendered by this Ministry are now available on-line, at this website.

The URL for the site is www.bahamas.gov.bs/agriculturemarine.
