Rehabilitación comunitaria de los arrecifes urbanos de San Juan

País: Puerto Rico

Sociedad Ambiente Marino

Project that contributes directly to the sustainable development of the coast and the blue economy in Puerto Rico, mainly to improve the health of the La Ocho reef, which is particularly valuable in supporting multiple recreational and tourist activities such as swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving and surfing. In addition, it protects the most important recreational beach on the metropolitan coast. Restoring these corals represents rehabilitating the reproductive capacity of this species, the net growth capacity of the reef, and restoring the role of essential fish habitat, helping to restore food security.
