The focus of the The Blue Projectsm has begun on site along the Islands of The Bahamas in the Caribbean Sea, and will eventually expand throughout the tropics worldwide.
Additional efforts of the project include:
• Provide funding to create a coral reef protection strategy for New Providence and Paradise Islands
• Initiate and fund ongoing reef research
• Recruit and train Bahamians in coral reef research, monitoring and management techniques
• Facilitate the development of reef education and public awareness programs for communities and schools to heighten appreciation of the beauty and complexity of these extraordinary ecosystems and of the interdependence of humans and coral reefs
