Water quality
monitoring
What we are doing?
We carry out monthly water quality monitoring activities, essential to assess the impact of human activities on ecosystems, especially on the coral reefs surrounding the island of Guanaja. These actions are critical to maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems and ensuring the sustainability of the community, whose economy depends directly and indirectly on reef-related tourism.
Why do we do it?
We conduct this monitoring because it is crucial to assess the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems, especially the delicate coral reefs surrounding Guanaja. The community relies significantly on tourism related to its reefs, increasing the negative impact on the ecosystem as tourism grows. This can decrease the quality and use potential of reefs, as well as pose a threat to public health due to bacterial contamination that can affect shellfish, drinking water, and recreational areas.
