Descripción general del proyecto
Fomento de la resiliencia comunitaria y la adaptación al cambio climático basada en los ecosistemas en comunidades seleccionadas de la costa oeste de Granada
Granada
This project expanded the coral nursery programme within the Gouyave Marine Protected Area through a community-based approach. Volunteers were trained to restore degraded reefs by designing, building, and deploying artificial reef structures for coral propagation. The project also assessed and restored riparian zones in three watersheds flowing into the protected area, strengthened long-term management capacity, updated habitat assessments and the management plan, and engaged fishers in environmental best practices and seamanship.
Objetivos clave
- Restore degraded coral reefs and expand the Gouyave coral nursery programme
