Caribbean Currents Conservation & Inspiration from the Caribbean [Video]

The first episode focused on the issue of coral bleaching in the Caribbean—the summer of 2023 was one of the hottest on record, and the region experienced one of its most severe bleaching spells. The program featured a panel of leading scientists: Dr. Elizabeth Shaver, coral conservation program manager; Dr. Aldo Croquer, marine program manager, Central Caribbean Program; and Jessica Ward, U.S. Virgin Island coral program director; as well as Yasmin Evangelista, who represented the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources in the Dominican Republic.

The next episode of Caribbean Currents is in production and will feature a discussion on sustainable fisheries in the Caribbean—stay tuned! Watch the first episode on coral bleaching now on our YouTube channel.
