🐠On #WorldOceansDay, we're looking back at a project that was launched with the Swiss Re Foundation’s support. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and local partners began training brigades of local volunteers in Mexico to repair and restore storm-damaged portions of the Mesoamerican Reef. Later, the Foundation teamed up with TNC to scale in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. In this video, Victor Faux, a coral restoration practitioner from Belize, shares why he cares about the reef and how the brigades help conserve it. Victor is one of the nearly 50% of Belizeans who depend on the reef for coastal protection, their livelihoods or both. Find out more: https://ow.ly/uYS050SbCcp
