Latin American Regional Group
The Latin American Regional Group was adopted by the CRC in 2019 and is formed by representatives of different organizations from Latin American and Caribbean countries to share information across the region, and/or in a shared language mostly in Spanish.
The group fosters cooperation, collaboration, interaction, and communication among its constituents and meets bi-monthly to report progress and share experiences. During the next one to three years, the group plans to host and collaborate to develop important webinar topics.
Geographical Area of Focus:Â Latin America and Caribbean countries.
What we are working on
The group hosted a special session of Coral Reef Restoration Advancements in the Caribbean and Tropical Pacific during the 14th ICRS in Bremen in 2022.
Priorities
The areas of focus are collecting and highlighting research from Latin American countries who are doing restoration and looking into restoration accomplishments from countries with low resources/funding, impact of socio economics.
