Join CCMI this month as we take a stand for coral reefs! 
Beaches, coastlines, and our beautiful seas are all interconnected via one global ocean. The ocean covers over 70% of the earth, and coral reefs are an important component of ocean health as they support 25% of all marine life and provide homes and protection for up to 1 million species. Coral reefs can be found in the tropics, as well as colder and deeper locations, around the globe. You are closer to and perhaps more reliant upon a coral reef than you think…

Unfortunately, our coral reefs are under serious threat from things such as over development of coastlines, climate change and marine debris. We need to take action now. We need to stand up for coral reefs to ensure their long term survival.

You’ll be part of a global effort to protect the ocean and coral reefs through our events and activity centred around World Ocean Day (8th June) Whether you join us for in-person events in the Cayman Islands or join us for virtual activity, we appreciate your passion to take a stand for our marine environment with us.

Here are a few ways for you to be involved this month:
