Protecting and conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends in the Caribbean and beyond.

About us

Protecting nature’s beauty and biodiversity throughout The Caribbean. The Caribbean is one of the world’s most biologically diverse marine regions. Home to iconic wildlife and vulnerable coastal communities, the region's once abundant ocean, coasts and coral reefs have suffered alarming decline. For more than 40 years, TNC has been protecting the breathtaking beauty that makes the Caribbean the unique paradise that it is and the resources that sustain the millions who live there.

  There are a lot of different approaches and strategies being used across the globe to help restore and protect coral reefs. But what is ecosystem-based coral reef restoration? Through an integrated approach, ecosystem-based coral reef restoration aims at restoring the health and functionality of coral reef ecosystems by going beyond just transplanting corals; it considers the entire ecosystem, including the physical, biological, and socio-economic components of how that ecosystem functions. By considering the entire ecosystem and involving local communities, ecosystem-based coral reef restoration aims to create resilient and sustainable coral reef systems that can withstand future environmental changes. Join us tomorrow (Sepetember 4th) to learn how TNC and partners are using this strategy to help Caribbean reefs! Come learn with us and scan the QR code in the image to sign-up.

• Mangrove forests are critical in our fight against climate change. They can store four to ten times more carbon per hectare as terrestrial forests, but sadly in many regions they are being lost 3-4 times faster than terrestrial forests. Their locations along the fringes of land and sea can make them difficult to measure by hand, and thus the need for effective remote sensing technologies and methods are critical for gathering more accurate information on these ecosystems to better inform decisions on coastal land use and restoration. A new manual from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in the Caribbean, aims to do just that! This manual helps stakeholders make the best decisions on which remote sensing methods are best for mapping and monitoring different kinds of mangroves based on project needs and budgets. Thus, allowing for enhanced management and conservation of these critical ecosystems.

• As this #CoralReefAwarenessWeek draws to an end, we are proud to highlight our CoralCarib project is providing just that! Local partners across the Caribbean are leveraging cutting-edge technology to combat coral reef losses. Our collaboration with FUNDEMAR and Grupo Puntacana has led to a state-of-the-art Marine Innovation Center where new tools are being tested to better 1) care for (i.e. clean plugs and scan coral health) 2) create micro-fragments of a variety of critical coral species which can 1) reduce costs and 2) identify resilient corals faster than ever before! Paving the way for more scalable and replicable coral restoration projects.

  My team has been busy this week, prepping and training new staff for our next coral spawning event, happening in a couple days. Staff were walked through the process of assisted fertilization, rinsing, cleaning and caring for larvae during their fragile early stages. We have set up multiple experiments to examine the best ways to settle and raise recruits, and have been refining a "large-batch" method of fertilization in order to scale up facilitated sexual reproduction for our restoration program. #coralbabies #coralrestoration #worldreefawarenessday
  
• Happy #WorldReefDay! One of the most critical creatures in the Caribbean and a focal point of so much of our conservation work ❤️ Keep your eye on our channels today for lots of stories from our coral projects throughout the region!

  It’s #WorldReefDay! Coral reefs are a haven for marine life, but experts estimate that up to 90% of coral reefs will be severely degraded by 2050 if we don't act now. This is why, as part of the #OceanDecade, scientists across the world are developing and implementing solutions to protect and restore these unique ecosystems, such as: 🪸 Reefs of Hope by Corals For Conservation, which propagates pioneering bleaching-resistant corals to safeguard corals against worsening marine heatwaves in Fiji: https://ow.ly/29KI50S42NY🪸 The Coral Sentinel System by the Smithsonian Institute, which aims to use autonomous, low-cost robots to monitor the health of coral reefs around the world in near real-time: https://ow.ly/Y2kj50S42NX🪸 The Global Fund for Coral Reefs, which unlocks innovative funding to protect and restore coral reefs: https://ow.ly/SnoQ50S42NW #WorldReefAwarenessDay
