Abstract

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and partners aim to conserve, restore and monitor coral reefs throughout the Insular Caribbean and to mobilize regional and global action by proactively sharing science and expertise. To accomplish rapid coordination and deployment of TNC’s comprehensive coral strategy, Coral Innovation Hubs are being established in The Bahamas, the Dominican Republic and the U.S. Virgin Islands. TNC’s Caribbean coral strategy, focuses on pioneering emerging technologies, while promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing, ensuring local partners can scale up restora-tion initiatives to levels relevant to today’s rate of coral degradation. With a - pronged approach that includes coral conservation, restoration and monitoring, TNC and partners are joining forces to ensure that coral reefs survive and thrive for generations to come.
