Our goalTo foster trinational collaboration among marine protected area stakeholders in the Gulf of Mexico in order to address shared threats. |
A Trinational InitiativeRedGolfo brings together MPA managers, scientists, and policy makers to address shared threats. |
The Ocean FoundationRedGolfo is coordinated by the Caribbean Marine Research and Conservation Initiative (CariMar) of The Ocean Foundation. |
Gulf of Mexico Coral Reef Report Card The GOM Coral Reef Report Card, like RedGolfo, is a direct outcome of the Trinational Initiative. During a meeting in Merida, Mexico, in November 2019, cosponsored by CariMar, coral scientists from Cuba, Mexico and the US came together to create a health report card that will help assess the health of the Gulf’s coral ecosystems in a standard way in the three participating countries. This tool will help policymakers understand how coral ecosystems are coping from stressors and make policy recommendations to protect them.
