Help Rebuild the Gulf of Mexico Barrier Reef

Introduction 

The Yucatan peninsula has a rich biodiversity that is threatened by the expanding development of the tourist industry. In only 35 years, the population grew 1220%! Development in most of the areas surrounding the reefs are having negative effects on the ecosystems and freshwater supplies, this is due to the lack of updated data regarding the marine ecosystems that can be integrated into the management plans.

Report 

Working with local partners, together we intend to identify, protect and preserve areas with high biodiversity, as well as those ones that are essential to maintain the ecological processes of the species. We are currently looking for $1000 to engage 100 local community members in our research efforts!

Thank you for your support

Dear Supporters,

Early October our community along the gulf coast of Mexico was told to prepare for another grade 4 Hurricane called Delta that was fast approaching. 

2020 has certainly been a challenging year as many of our operations had to take a huge cut due to COVID-19, making our restoration projects and marine awareness projects come to almost a halt. In early October Hurricane Delta hit our coastline and as such has had an even bigger impact on our incredible reef. Our local team have begun emergency response to the damage and are working on our restoration project in partnership with other local authorities. Our restoration project is planned to take over 10 years to complete and following the recent hurricane season the local area has experienced serious damage that needs our intervention fast. 

Thank you for your support,

Tyrone and our Team in Mexico!
