Reefs at Risk in the Caribbean

The report underscores the vital importance of marine resources in the Caribbean, which is under threat due to rapid degradation.

A significant portion of these resources includes the region's reefs, two-thirds directly imperilled by human activities, causing potential yearly economic losses ranging from $350 to $870 million.

The "Reefs at Risk in the Caribbean" project addressed these issues, aiming to arm decision-makers and the public with essential information and management tools.

The initiative focuses on managing the region's reefs and the crucial need for human behaviour and capacity changes to avert further ecological losses and economic impacts.
