Using information gathered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), we worked to
adapt and modernize a map of
threatened coral reef locations in the
Carribean. In 2014, NOAA identified the
area outlined in the map below as the
Northeast Marine Corridor and Culebra
Island Habitat Focus Area (HFA). This declaration designated the area as the
Carribean’s first HFA, meaning it would fall
under the goals of their Habitat Blueprint
framework. These goals include: habitat
resilience, coral recovery, the promotion of
sustainable recreation, and the execution
of science to support marine resource
management. Our proposed project for the
area aligns with the goals listed above.
