Organization: Caribbea
n Coral Restoration Center (CCRC)
Location: Sola
rte Island, Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panama
Empowering Indigenous
Women Through Coral Restoration.
CCRC created its Love for the Sea pro
ject to restore the fragile coral ecosystem in the region by building
an indoor seed bank and coral breeding laboratory and to foster economic&nb
sp;empowerment by employing the local indigenous Ngäbe people in its activi
ties. A key feature of the project: constructing a new, indoor seed ba
nk lab to replace the outdoor breeding facility (vulnerable to damage
during inclement weather), thereby dramatically increasing the capacit
y to raise coral seedlings for transplant. The organization depends upon a
savvy mix of locally based staff and volunteers.
