Conserving Marine Habitats & Special Places
Geographical Scope:
Guanaja Island, Honduras
In 1998 Hurricane Mitch destroyed the mangrove forests of Guanaja Island, Honduras. These forests supported fisheries and wildlife habitat and protected the perimeter coral reef from siltation. Our goal is to restore the mangrove forests of Guanaja as completely as possible. This involves on-the-ground planting as well as monitoring and education to ensure the long-term vitality of this critical ecosystem. We are also seeking to establish a permanent location on the island that will serve as an education center and research station.
