And looking back on I was impressed by their unique—and 2010, it’s through that quintessentially CORAL proven—strategy of improving reef health by approach that we addressed challenges and developing and implementing sustainable change. World headlines last year captured community-based solutions. As board chair, news of mass coral bleaching in Southeast Asia, Micronesia, I have realized an even deeper appreciation for the organization and the Caribbean, underscoring the urgency of our work. as I have worked more closely with CORAL’s talented team and Instead of getting mired in the gloomy news, CORAL expanded witnessed their unwavering commitment to our mission. our effective reef conservation strategies by cultivating key partnerships, including an exciting new collaboration with the Over the last year, the board of directors has been working Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. diligently to move the organization forward.

The CRSD indicators include: 1) promoting sustainable business practices, Our teams of experts and trained volunteers work on the ground with local 2) fostering conservation alliances, 3) developing sustainable financing, 4) stakeholders to provide the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources to reducing local reef threats, 5) implementing effective management of marine implement effective and financially sustainable conservation solutions that protected areas, and 6) creating community benefits. significantly reduce negative impacts to coral reefs. CORAL works directly with communities to create programs and infrastructure Our proven approach is the Coral Reef Sustainable Destination (CRSD) model, that address each of the six indicators of sustainability. Using this approach, which bolsters a community’s ability to effectively preserve and manage its own we are able to considerably boost the health of coral reef ecosystems and the coral reef resources. The CRSD model uses six strategic indicators to improve communities that depend on them and ensure that conservation benefits will sustainability in a particular project site. continue long into the future.

Current CRSD Sites Coral Reef CSI Program Sites 3 cruise ship docks at Cozumel’s Puerta Maya Cruise Terminal, flooding the platform with hundreds of tourists eager to A explore the island and its offshore reefs. While making their way through the terminal, the visitors are greeted by a spectacular photographic display hanging overhead, which showcases the beautiful creatures that inhabit Cozumel’s reefs. Many slow to appreciate the eye-catching photographs and read the display’s educational message before taking off with local tour operators to see the reefs in person.

This CORAL-funded display, featuring thirty-six large banners that line the terminal’s main walking corridor, is just one example of how CORAL is partnering with local industry to raise conservation awareness and alleviate the pressures of mass tourism on coral reefs. The banners educate not only tourists, but also tourism professionals who work at the cruise terminal. To keep the conservation message rippling across the island, CORAL also co-funded a traveling version of the display that will be exhibited in public spaces across Cozumel to increase demand for sustainable practices.

Developing Sustainable Business Initiatives CORAL led a pioneering grassroots effort in Mesoamerica to produce the world’s first industry-developed set of voluntary marine recreation standards. Published in 2007, these standards establish good environmental practices for marine tourism businesses to minimize their impacts on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Since the launch of the standards, CORAL has worked with companies throughout the region to help them successfully adhere to the guidelines and reduce the effects of tourism on their reefs.

CORAL’s Sustainable Marine Recreation workshops are a key component of this initiative. These engaging trainings introduce marine tourism operators to the ecology and importance of coral reefs, the threats they face, and the importance of the voluntary standards. CORAL also developed the innovative Environmental Walk-Through program, which provides companies with comprehensive environmental performance assessments, as well as recommendations and support to help them further decrease their environmental footprint.

The key message conveyed in both of these programs is the link between healthy reefs and healthy businesses. By adopting good environmental practices, tourism companies are not only safeguarding the resources they depend on, but also increasing their appeal to the growing market of ecologically-minded tourists.

STRENGTHENING MARINE PARKS As a founding member of the Mesoamerican Reef Tourism Initiative (MARTI), CORAL is working with an extensive network of partners to reduce the environmental impacts of mass tourism. On behalf of MARTI, CORAL is serving as a key facilitator for the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park advisory committee. The marine park formally agreed to incorporate the standards into their

I NA B LE U SI NE SS PRACT CE S S U TA management plan as a result of our efforts. This important development will improve local reef resilience and serve as a precedent for other marine parks in the region to adopt marine recreation standards. CORAL’s Impact Expands in Playa del Carmen In 2010, CORAL trained six Reef Leaders in Playa del Carmen as part of the CORAL Reef Leadership Network (CRLN), a program that empowers local professionals to communicate key conservation messages in their communities. The CRLN program has been incredibly successful on the nearby island of Cozumel, and CORAL is teaming up with a local NGO partner to bring that success to the mainland.

As part of the MARTI initiative (see previous page), our partner the Riviera Maya Hotel Association is conducting environmental evaluations with hotels in Playa del Carmen. CORAL’s new Reef Leaders are extending these evaluations to the marine recreation companies that work in the hotel marinas. This combined effort is addressing reef threats from tourism both in and out of the water.

The CRLN has been a cost-effective way to build conservation awareness and transform it into much-needed conservation action. In Cozumel, CORAL’s Reef Leaders have trained more than 700 tour guides, and our workshops have become the official tour guide training program within the Cozumel Reefs National Marine Park.

CORAL’s new Coral Reef Monitoring Data Portal is improving the efficacy of these efforts.

Launched in 2010, our web portal provides a one-stop shop where volunteers can find monitoring programs statewide, access and download supportive resources, and enter their data for reef managers to use. The project not only supports and expands previous reef conservation efforts in Hawaii, but also acts as a catalyst for further collaboration among researchers.

Robin Knox of Water Quality Consulting, Inc., and Aquanimity NOW sees the web portal database as “a key factor in making our volunteer water quality monitoring programs an effective part of the state’s management program.”

CORAL recognizedforthemarinepark anopportunity Creative Marketing Strategies Finance Reef Conservation The Roatan Marine Park’s turtle logo has become a recognizable symbol throughout the island of Roatan. Locals and tourists alike are sporting t-shirts, caps, umbrellas, and ponchos that proudly display the park’s emblem and show support for its conservation activities. These items do more than raise awareness for the park; they also provide crucial funds to support patrols and infrastructure projects that are necessary for effective reef conservation.

The business plan that CORAL developed for the Roatan Marine Park made several recommendations for diversifying and increasing the park’s revenue. One of those suggestions was to sell more merchandise at high-profile visitor locations that are frequented by a wide range of tourists. The marine park implemented the idea, installing two new sales booths at the main cruise ship terminals on the island. Merchandise sales increased significantly as a result—in fact, the park’s revenue grew approximately 25% from 2009 to 2010, thanks in part to this blossoming retail operation. Honduras 9 n a beautiful day in San Pedro, Belize, CORAL Field Manager Valentine Rosado stands knee-deep in seawater as he works Owith other conservation experts and community volunteers to plant mangrove seedlings along the coastline. Spirits are high as the volunteers apply new skills acquired through a CORAL-sponsored mangrove reforestation workshop.

Over the course of a week, the volunteers have planted nearly 100 mangrove seedlings in three high-priority locations along the coast of San Pedro. More plantings are planned for additional sites in the coming months.

Identifying Reef Threats In Belize, the high demand for beachfront property has led to an alarming rate of mangrove destruction. That’s a problem for coral reefs, as mangroves are essential to their long-term health. Not only do mangroves act as a natural purifier to prevent harmful pollutants from reaching reefs, but their root systems also provide a breeding ground and nursery for many reef species. Mangrove root systems also help to prevent erosion, protecting the coastline and nearby reefs by trapping sediments.

On a global scale, mangroves play an important role in combating climate change, one of the greatest threats to coral reefs worldwide. Mangroves, along with salt marshes and seagrass beds, capture and store between 800 and 1,650 million tons of carbon a year, equal to roughly half the annual carbon emissions of the global transportation sector. Because mangroves are one of the most intense carbon sinks on the planet,

RE D UCT I ON their protection is especially critical for coral reefs.

Finding the Best Strategies for Conservation Mangrove reforestation is challenging, as wind and wave energy can make it difficult for seedlings to take root. CORAL teamed up with Bob Riley of Mangrove.org, who has created the Riley Encased Methodology™, a new technique that dramatically increases the success of mangrove plantings. Riley’s innovative, simple, and cost-effective encasement process protects the young plant as it grows, allowing it to successfully take root and develop into a reproductively mature tree. CORAL sponsored a workshop that brought Bob Riley to San Pedro to train local leaders in the method and help start three pilot restoration sites. THREAT Changing Behavior Coastal developers in Belize have traditionally favored clearing mangroves and constructing sea walls in their place to prevent coastal erosion. However, we have learned that the natural mangrove ecosystem does a much better job of minimizing erosion, in addition to providing important coastal habitat.

While it will take a few years for the newly planted seedlings to develop root systems, CORAL’s Valentine Rosado knows that the ultimate return on investment will be well worth the wait. “We are confident that these sites will serve as models to educate coastal developers on the importance of maintaining mangrove habitat. Development is essential to our local economy, but it must be done in a responsible way.” Preventing Localized Reef Threats Off the coast of Ambergris Caye, just a short boat ride from San Pedro, Belize, is a popular snorkeling spot known as Mexico Rocks. Marine tour operators from the mainland are bringing increasing numbers of snorkelers to explore this beautiful coral reef and the nearby seagrass beds.

Recognizing an increase in boat traffic to this tourist destination over the past year, CORAL and private investors funded a mooring buoy project to prevent anchor damage to the shallow reef system. A total of eighteen new mooring buoys were installed by our local partner, the San Pedro Tour Guide Association (SPTGA).

Tour operators can now safely visit Mexico Rocks without needing to drop anchor and risk damaging the reef. SPTGA is working with local marine tour operators to assign shared responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of the buoys so that they remain an effective conservation tool well into the future.

The area is rapidly becoming a popular marine tourism destination, and it is in need of targeted coral reef management efforts.

After discussions with major dive operators in the region, CORAL identified support to pilot conservation activities based on our Coral Reef Sustainable Destination model. We are also meeting with local stakeholders to explore the potential for developing an effective locally- managed marine area in the region.

Since the waters of Amed are particularly susceptible to coral bleaching, CORAL partnered with Reef Check Indonesia and several local dive operators to complete a coral bleaching survey of the area in 2010. The data from the survey, currently being compiled, will inform future regional management activities that make reefs more resilient to climate change.

That’s why CORAL and the Kubulau Resource Management Committee (KRMC) joined together to purchase telephone equipment for each of the region’s ten villages.

Using revenue generated from the Namena Marine Reserve’s user fee system, the KRMC bought a mobile phone for each village. Most of Kubulau’s villages do not have access to electricity, so a CORAL-funded microgrant supplied solar packs to power each phone.

The new technology is already improving communication between KRMC members and other local stakeholders, and is streamlining management activities within the reserve. CORAL’s Fiji team also provided a list of village cell phone numbers to local dive operators so that they can easily share information about village visits, poaching, and anchoring.
