The Caribbean
is home to some of the planet’s most
magnificent coral reef ecosystems.
These coral habitats are essential—they
harbor abundant ocean life, help protect
coastal communities from coastal flooding
and erosion, and support nearly half of the
region’s economy. But in recent decades,
Caribbean coral cover has declined by
almost 60%. Remaining reefs face the
threats of warmer waters, harsher storms,
disease, overfishing, and pollution.
To protect and restore coral reefs,
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is
guiding effective marine management
and innovating ways to accelerate
coral reproduction and reef recovery.
Partnering with organizations, institutions,
communities, and governments, we are
shaping a brighter future for the coral reef
ecosystems that benefit more than 44 million
people who call the Caribbean home.
