The coat of arms of the Bahamas contains a shield with the national symbols as its focal point, the shield is supported by a marlin and flamingo. On top the shield is a conch shell resting on a helmet, that represents the marine life of the island chain. The main symbol is a ship, representing the Santa Maria of Christopher Columbus, sailing beneath a sun. The animals supporting the shield are the national animals, and the national motto is found at the bottom. The flamingo is located on land, and the marlin on sea, showing the geography of the islands. The vibrant colors of the coat of arms are intended to point to a bright future for the islands.
