It’s VI History Month!

Much of history is overlooked because it was passed down through oral traditions rather than written records.

Colonization decimated Indigenous populations in the USVI, but their influence is found in Caribbean language, food, agriculture, traditions and direct descendants living on today.

Legacy is not what remains untouched; legacy is what survives by becoming what follows. If you look around, it’s deeply rooted in the island’s identity, and its influence continues today.

– Daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner
– Island excursions woven into the experience

✨ Thriving Islands: 2025 Year in Review ✨

2025 was busy, busy, busy—in the very best way.

🪸 Coral restoration in Butler Bay ramped up, with newly added corals now in the “grow-zone layer.” Be sure to check them out on your next dive or snorkel!

🤿 Our Youth Ocean Explorer interns spent a full week snorkeling and diving to create a Reef Guide for Butler Bay, photographing and documenting 115+ marine species (check it out at www.thrivingislands.com). Talk about getting fully immersed in marine biology.

🌱 The first cohort of mangroves was successfully grown in recycled glass! Next up: outplanting them around St. Croix to help build stronger, more resilient coastlines.

🌊 We joined forces with knowledgeable and experienced partners to create a watershed management plan for the Butler Bay/ Creque Dam watershed—a critical first step toward reducing runoff, protecting water quality, and supporting healthy reefs and communities.

🧠 Together with TNC and their coral innovation hub, we helped create hundreds of thousands of new brain corals, offering real hope for reef recovery.

👩‍🏫 Throughout it all, we continued hosting local youth interns, focused on empowerment through education and fostering lifelong stewardship of our coastal ecosystems.

Thank you to our partners, interns, and community for making 2025 a year of growth, science, and impact. Onward to an even stronger 2026! 💙

From breadfruit and sorrel to pineapples, cucumbers, and sweet little bananas — the island’s farmers’ markets overflow with color, tradition, and connection to the land.

We loved hosting the future changemakers from the VAST Summer Enrichment Experience at Virgin Islands Architecture Center for Built Heritage and Crafts (VIAC) here at the Feather Leaf Inn! We explored the rich stories rooted in the trees on site, we toured the grounds, examined the architecture of the historic buildings, and had meaningful discussions about how spaces like these can be repurposed with creativity and respect for the past.🌳🌿🛠️

Coral fertilization success!

May is spawning season for the grooved brain corals (Diploria Labrynthiformis) here and last week our Thriving Islands dive team collected gametes from nine coral colonies in Butler Bay, St. Croix. As part of our NOAA-funded “Roots for Reefs” project, a collaboration with @ceibastrategies, we’re capturing spawn from these corals to assist them in sexual reproduction, which now rarely occurs naturally due to the large distances between surviving colonies in the wild.

We’ve teamed up with the The Nature Conservancy’s Coral Innovation Hub to combine gametes from parent corals in different parts of the island to create new genetic crosses in hopes they will survive the increased stressors on our reefs. The Nature Conservancy will rear them in tanks on land in a controlled environment to give them a big head start in life, as they will be safe from predators, encrusting algae, and too-hot ocean temperatures — at least until they are big enough to outplant.

Huge thanks to our awesome dive team: Malèyah Navarro, our new marine science intern, @kayambusimmonds & @meechwarham who have helped us over the past two years, as well as @corina_isabelle and @ryanflegal, co-founders of Feather Leaf Inn/Thriving Islands.
