🪸🤓Esta semana, el equipo de buceo de Black Beard Sports tuvo la oportunidad de capacitarse, en colaboración con Vieques Conservation and Historical Trust (VCHT) y Crystal Clear Vieques, en la identificación de especies de coral y enfermedades, y la recopilación de datos.

La capacitación, impartida por el Equipo de Respuesta a Emergencias de Arrecife (EREA) y el Departamento de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales (DNRA), se centró en la identificación de enfermedades de los corales y el establecimiento de protocolos de respuesta a emergencias para proteger mejor nuestros arrecifes.

Proteger nuestro océano no es solo parte de lo que hacemos, es parte de nuestra esencia. Nos enorgullece seguir aprendiendo, creciendo y trabajando juntos para salvaguardar los ecosistemas marinos de Vieques para las generaciones futuras.
