Coral Cay Conservation takes the cake

Coral Cay Conservation takes the cake

Coral Cay Conservation, an award-winning non profit organization that has been running conservation expeditions since 1986. Their aim being to protect the world’s most endangered coral reefs, tropical forests and yet help people sustaining their livelihood. Peter Raines is the founder and CEO of Coral Cay Conservation (CCC).

According to Raines, Coral reefs can bring in a lot of trade for the tourism sector, reef-based tourism alone is estimated globally to be worth something like GBP 6bn (EUR 8.8bn) per annum. Economically the coral reefs can be used only for fishing and aquaculture, the only other source of revenue is Tourism. CCC makes sure that this kind of tourism does not take place at the cost of harming the ecology of the reef or making the fishermen loose their jobs.

In Fiji due to their recommendations about 20 Marine Protected Areas have come up. Because of their efforts Belize barrier reef was declared a heritage site.They are not so much for artificially created reefs the only help latest technology has been for them has been the accessibility of high resolution satellite images to help them in the work they do.
