BEYOND THE SHORE - Coral Gardeners St. Vincent and the Grenadines (with subtitles)

One of our latest and most ambitious projects ventures beyond the shore to restore coral reef ecosystems which are vital to marine and coastal ecosystems as well as food security in St Vincent and the Grenadines, which has one of the largest seascapes in the southern Caribbean.
RVA is hosting a major marine conservation programme to train 16 Vincentians - eight males and eight females - to become coral reef gardeners and stewards of the marine environment, with emphasis on protection of the coastline and developing coral nurseries.

Coral Reefs are very important because they provide many ecosystem services to tourism, fisheries and coastal protection. Protecting our coral is critical for food security and responding to climate change. While warmer, more acidic oceans as a consequence of climate change pose challenges for coral reefs, coral reefs are an important buffer to storm surges
Our Partners
The Coral restoration project has three partners, namely Centre for Livelihoods, Ecosystems, Energy, Adaptation and Resilience - St. Lucia (CLEAR St. Lucia), Sustainable Grenadines (SusGren), and RVA.
