Rashema Ingraham
Rashema T. Ingraham is the Bimini Coastal Waterkeeper and Executive Director of Waterkeepers Bahamas. As a real-deal Grand Bahamian, and descendant of a fisherman from Bimini, she is a vocal ambassador for the environment. It was her late grandfather who opened her eyes to the waterworld and nature at large, taking her into his self-made canoes when she was much younger to catch fish and conch for the night’s enjoyment. Rashema is a certified paralegal who has legal experience working closely on environmental litigation matters. She is the co-founder of GB Envirobins, a non-profit community-service company that places trash receptacles along the main streets on Grand Bahama Island to encourage a trash-free environment. She is a trained leadership facilitator and incorporates leadership training into a vibrant environmental youth program with Save The Bays. As the Executive Director of Waterkeepers Bahamas, she focuses on education and citizen action for clean water use, making presentations to schools, churches, and youth groups. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Tourism Management from the College of The Bahamas (now University of The Bahamas), and understands the value our natural resources have in maximizing the island’s tourism product.
