Fragments of Hope, Belize

REPLENISHMENT SITES

Fragments of Hope pioneered reef replenishment activities in Belize and is committed to spreading awareness and the importance of coral reefs and their associated biodiversity. In 2009, six in-situ nursery sites were established near Placencia using three cultured methods from Dr. Austin Bowden-Kerby.  Much of these methods have been modified and today, there are over 23 nurseries and over 100,000 coral out-planted in more than 10 different locations throughout Belize expanding from Laughing Bird Caye National Park (LBCNP) to Gladden Spit and Silk Cayes Marine Reserve (GSSCMR), South Water Caye Marine Reserve (SWCMR) and Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve (TAMR).
