Coral
Restoration
What we are doing?
On Guanaja Island, in the Bay Islands National Marine Park, we are carrying out coral reef restoration activities. We use in-situ coral nurseries to promote the recovery of areas degraded by climate change, including bleaching and storms, as well as other factors such as sedimentation, pollution, and reef groundings. Our approach is focused on collecting healthy coral fragments and transplanting them into damaged areas to speed up their natural recovery.
Why do we do it?
Coral reef restoration is crucial because of the importance of these marine ecosystems. Coral reefs are highly biodiverse and productive, and play a critical role in protecting the coastline, conserving marine species, and generating income through tourism. By restoring damaged reefs, we are helping to maintain the health and integrity of these ecosystems, as well as protect coastal communities and their economic livelihoods.
How you can help?
You can contribute to our conservation activities in several ways:
Volunteer
If you are interested in marine conservation, you can join our volunteer programs to assist in the collection and transplantation of coral fragments, reef monitoring, and other related tasks.
Donate
Donations can help fund our restoration efforts, including the purchase of equipment, materials, and staff training. Every contribution counts toward protecting and restoring the valuable coral reefs of Guanaja and beyond. Donate
Awareness
Help spread the word about the importance of coral reef conservation to your friends, family, and community. The more we are aware of the challenges these ecosystems face, the more support we can garner for their protection and restoration.
