Capacity Building and 
Consistency Training

 

 

Throughout the western Atlantic, the coastal marine environment provides important resources that are being managed at various levels of effectiveness. Although some countries have the capacity and infrastructure to manage their resources, many nations are still unable to provide effective coastal zone management, particularly of coral reef systems.

AGRRA aims to help build in-country capacity and collaboration by:

  Conducting hands-on, interactive workshops to train local resource managers and scientists to assess reef condition using a standardized method,

  Promoting effective and responsible management efforts using this scientific information; and

  Improving collaboration and information sharing within and between the countries.

Through our training workshops, we help identify and select leaders throughout the region to oversee the implementation of the AGRRA surveys and review and synthesize the condition of reef areas that have already been assessed.
