Coral Reef Conservation project
Coral Reef Conservation Project
This will also delimit the under water National Park facilitating the protection and recuperation of this important ecosystems that are being greatly affected by climate change. The British Embassy and Reef Check are working together to resolve local problems with global consequences.
This Project also includes workshops that would benefit both the local community and dive industry. The focus of the first workshop was on the ecology of reefs and the importance they have in providing income (via tourism) and food (through sustainable fishing practices). The Second workshop is focused on the installation and maintenance of the buoys, local fishermen are going to help Reef Check voluntaries to install the buoys and they are responsible for the maintenance according to a protocol designed by Reef Check.
