The Caribbean Biodiversity Fund launched the Caribbean Coral Health Forum (CCHF) at COP-16 of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) on 25 October 2024 in Cali, Colombia!
The CCHF is a vital platform for CBF beneficiaries— our grantees and partners—as well as coral reef conservationists and enthusiasts. Together, we’ll share insights and experiences surrounding the pressing issue of coral health in the Caribbean, particularly in light of recent mass coral bleaching events caused by unprecedented sea surface temperature, as well as challenges like Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD).
How does the Caribbean Coral Health Forum work?
The Forum consists of a WhatsApp group and an email newsletter. The WhatsApp group is a dedicated space to discuss and share experiences with the recent, mass coral bleaching events, triggered by unprecedented high sea surface temperatures, as well as other coral health matters, such as Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD). We will also keep you up to date on upcoming events and initiatives that we may be collaborating on via the newsletter.
