Help scientists survey part of the Meso-American Barrier Reef, the world’s second largest barrier reef system. Cayos Cochinos are the least disturbed ecosystems in the so-called Bay Islands Complex and identified by the Smithsonian Institute, The Nature Conservancy, the Word Wildlife Fund and the World Bank as one of the key sections of the barrier reef system to preserve. The data you will help collect with will be compared to that of other parts of the Meso-American Barrier Reef System and to reefs worldwide in a global effort to assess coral reef health and assist with the formulation of effective conservation strategies.
