The Minister of Public Works and Environment, the Hon. Jaché Adams, JP, MP, recently toured the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo (BAMZ) to view repair and transformation works currently underway across the facility, including essential upgrades to the North Rock tank.
During the visit, the Minister met with management and staff, observed works in progress, and received briefings on how repairs are being carefully sequenced while the facility remains operational and animal welfare remains paramount.
“What I saw firsthand was not simply maintenance, but deliberate and thoughtful investment in the future of BAMZ,” said Minister Adams. “This work demonstrates how careful planning and professional expertise are ensuring the facility remains resilient, relevant, and accessible for generations to come.”
Dr Ian Walker, Principal Curator at BAMZ, said the works underway reflect a broader effort to modernise aging infrastructure while maintaining high standards of animal care.
“These repairs are being carried out within a live facility, which requires careful coordination and specialist expertise,” Dr. Walker said. “They form part of a wider plan to ensure BAMZ continues to function as a leading centre for conservation, education, and public enjoyment.”
BAMZ remains open to the public, with some temporary adjustments in place as works continue. Further updates will be provided as repairs and wider transformation efforts reach key milestones.
