Overfished, effluents dumped into the water, climate change, reef collapse, resource exploitation, an undernourished and economically disempowered villages, inconsistent infrastructure development, and disparate government control & oversight; the Bocas Archipelago in Panama has a series of interconnected and serious problems that are contributing to an ecosystem in dire need of thoughtful attention and action.
Caribbean Coral Restoration's mission requires that we address the concept of coral reef recovery through a holistic lens. Ocean ecosystems include the management and protection of resources, the quality of life for the plant, animal and human species that live within that ecosystem. This means that our organization is more than just “putting coral structures” in the water.
CCR's vision: "We aspire to a legacy of recovering coral reefs & fish habitats around the Caribbean, where our projects have brought sustained economic empowerment and improved health to local Ngäbe communities. We work to diligently engage local NGOs & Panamanian government support for tested solutions and conservation opportunities that may scale to the rest of the world."
