What is ecotourism in the Bahamas?

need it for coursework help a sister out..

Ideally, ecotourism should satisfy several criteria, such as:

conservation of biological diversity and cultural diversity, through ecosystem protection

promotion of sustainable use of biodiversity, by providing jobs to local populations

sharing of socio-economic benefits with local communities and indigenous people by having their informed consent and participation in the management of ecotourism enterprises.

tourism to unspoiled natural resources, with minimal impact on the environment being a primary concern.

minimization of tourism's own environmental impact

affordability and lack of waste in the form of luxury

local culture, flora and fauna being the main attractions

I've been to the Bahamas on a cruise before...mainly in Nassau. I'd say that a couple of these essentials were met.
