Our goal

To foster trinational collaboration among marine protected area stakeholders in the Gulf of Mexico in order to address shared threats.

A Trinational Initiative

RedGolfo brings together MPA managers, scientists, and policy makers to address shared threats.

RedGolfo 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.
