NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Yntegra Group has advanced the next phase of early operational activity at Sampson Cay, marking a key step in the preparation of the island for future development, the company said in a statement.
According to the developer, over the coming weeks, the team will carry out a coordinated logistics and site-preparation effort involving the delivery of approximately 1,500 cubic yards of limestone from Black Point to Sampson Cay. The material will be transported by barge and used for essential grading, leveling, and access preparation across key operational areas of the island. This work will support the preparation of temporary infrastructure, including the future man camp, nursery, mechanic shop, and internal access routes. These areas are necessary to accommodate workers, equipment, and support services as the project moves into its next planning and technical phases, including upcoming geotechnical studies across the island.
The company also noted that a key component of this early preparation is the continued advancement of the island’s nursery program, developed in coordination with Environmental Sustainable Solutions (ESS). The nursery is intended to support the cultivation, protection, and reintroduction of native vegetation, including trees and mangroves, as part of a broader effort to preserve and enhance the natural character of Sampson Cay.
By preparing the nursery area and improving access across the island, Yntegra said that it is supporting ESS in its work in native plant cultivation, soil stewardship, and long-term ecological enhancement. These efforts are central to the project’s commitment to responsible development, environmental preservation, and the protection of the unique landscape of the Exuma Cays. The first delivery of limestone, totaling approximately 540 cubic yards, has already been completed. Additional deliveries will continue as part of the broader effort to prepare the site responsibly and efficiently.
According to Yntegra, environmental protection remains a central priority throughout the process. Turbidity curtains and silt screens have been installed to help protect the surrounding marine environment during offloading and site-preparation activities, the company said in a statement.
“This is the necessary groundwork that allows us to organize the island, protect the environment, and prepare responsibly for the geotechnical studies and the work ahead,” a spokesperson said.
