- There are two schools on isla Bastimentos, one with about 90 kids and othe other with 30 kids. There is no school transport and kids walk to school along the coast. Most do not know how to swim and there has been at least one drowning of a 9 year old recently.
- There are Nogbe communities on: Isla Bastimentos (about 2-3 communities), Charcot, La Loma, Salt Creek, Isla Cristobal and Isla Carinero, and on Isla Solarte. There are about 6 huts near the 'Bat Cave'
- Healthcare facilities (such as they are) include the hospital in Bocas del Toro, another in Changuinola and a quite decent hospital in David. There is a first aid station on isla Cristobal, Almirante and Charcot.
- Transport between these facilities is by boat -- expensive, hazardous and slow.
