What we are doing?
We are implementing a comprehensive monitoring and treatment program for SCTLD (Hard Coral Tissue Loss Syndrome) in the Bay Islands of Honduras, including Guanaja. This program includes constant monitoring of the spread of the disease on reefs, as well as the application of specific medical treatments to mitigate its effects.
Why do we do it?
We are actively addressing the troubling tissue loss in hard corals, which has resulted in the devastation of extensive reef areas in the region. We recognize how quickly this disease can spread along reefs, negatively impacting healthy corals and contributing to reduced coral cover and species diversity. In addition, we are aware of the economic importance of coral reefs, as local tourism is highly dependent on their health and beauty.
How you can help?
