Cooperative Agreement

Overview

Grant Description
The Nature Conservancy will be awarded $6.6M to restore 90 acres of coral reef within the St. Croix East End Marine Park. This large-scale effort will benefit five species of corals listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, including Elkhorn and Staghorn corals.

Coral outplants will be sourced from donor corals that have survived bleaching events and disease in order to increase genetic diversity and support the reef's ability to withstand climate change. The Nature Conservancy and partners will leverage the on-going expertise and infrastructure of Coral Innovation Hub.

This work will help recover marine species and will contribute to a healthy reef ecosystem that supports tourism and fisheries, benefiting the community of St. Croix.
