Caribbean Coastal Marine Productivity Project

The Caribbean Coastal Marine Productivity Project studies how the coastal waters of the Caribbean support diverse marine life and local communities. It focuses on understanding the health and productivity of ecosystems like coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds, which are vital for fish populations, tourism, and coastal protection. By gathering scientific data, the project aims to inform sustainable management practices, helping preserve these ecosystems against threats such as pollution, overfishing, and climate change. Ultimately, it seeks to ensure the long-term health and productivity of Caribbean coastal waters for the environment and local livelihoods.
