GuatemalaDespite being limited in the Caribbean coast, the connection of the Guatemala to the Gulf of Honduras means it has an influence on the area's resources. We are working in two communities in Guatemala, Livingston and Puerto Barrios, as part of the Tri-national Conch Management Plan. |
BelizeBelize is home to the longest barrier reef in the Caribbean, which extends south to the waters of Guatemala and Honduras. The mobile nature of marine species is affected by currents as plankton or migratory individuals, this means that an understanding of how these marine resources are connected is essential to effectively manage these resources at relevant scales. We are partners of various transnational projects that are helping to define the patterns of connectivity and applying them to management strategies including commercial fisheries of important species such as lobster and conch. |
El SalvadorWe have worked with Salvadoran communities in the Gulf of Fonseca border as part of a network of fishermen in the area who are developing a monitoring system for the marine ecosystem's health. |
HondurasWe are working on both coasts, Pacific and Atlantic including the Bay Islands. Through a wide range of projects we are always looking to make links between science and management of marine resources in Honduras and neighboring countries, thinking regionally as we work locally. |
NicaraguaIn addition to the network of fisheries in the Gulf of Fonseca, which includes communities in Nicaragua, we are developing specific projects that will focus on management of broader resources between Nicaragua and Honduras. |
