Caribbean Marine Protected Areas (CMPAs)

Caribbean Marine Protected Areas (CMPAs) are designated regions in the Caribbean Sea aimed at conserving the marine environment and its biodiversity. These areas help protect coral reefs, fish populations, and other marine life from threats like overfishing, pollution, and climate change. By restricting certain activities, CMPAs promote sustainable use of marine resources, support local communities, and maintain ecological balance. They serve as vital tools for preserving the rich marine ecosystems in the Caribbean, ensuring they remain healthy and resilient for future generations.
