Why are most of the Bahamian an islands unhabited?
Most of the Bahamian islands are uninhabited due to their small size, limited natural resources, and vulnerability to hurricanes and rising sea levels. The islands often lack fresh water sources and adequate infrastructure, making it challenging to support a permanent population. Additionally, the remoteness of many islands makes them less accessible and less economically viable for large-scale development. These factors contribute to a preference for habitation on the larger, more developed islands like New Providence and Grand Bahama.

How does the fact that the Bahamas are coral islands affect the areas economy?
The Bahamas are coral islands, therefore, they are surrounded by rich coral reefs. These coral reefs are popular tourist attractions. This fact makes the Bahamas a premier tourist destination and this booming tourist industry brings about economic development. Infrastructure on the most visited islands, especially New Providence Island (site of Nassau the capital) and Grand Bahama, is improved as a result, the booming tourist industry brings about a thriving banking and finance industry, and the locals are provided by a greater variety of jobs and careers that are byproducts of any tourist industry. The coral reefs are also the source of several species of fish, therefore the Bahamas is afforded a decent fishing industry, adding further to the economy. However, being coral islands, the Bahamas have little freshwater as any precipitation (the Bahamas are flat so rainfall is generally low) simply percolates into the rock, away from human use. Therefore, money has to be spent on importing bottled water and desalination. This costs the economy. Also, as coral islands, each of the Bahamas are small, and with increasing population, overcrowding, homelessness, unemployment, pollution and crime result, costing the tourist industry, thus costing the economy.
