WHO ARE WE?
Caribbean
Reef Buddy is
a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and understanding of
our unique marine life. Throughout our work, our aim is to enhance conservation
and scientific knowledge, while inspiring people and leading by example,
encouraging environmental awareness and individual development.
WHERE ARE WE?
Caribbean
Reef Buddy is
based on the island of Carriacou, Grenada, West Indies. Carriacou is the second largest island of Grenada and the
largest island in the spectacular paradise of the Grenadines Island chain measuring
just 13 square miles. The tiny island has unspoiled reefs, an amazing variety
of aquatic life, and over 30+ beautiful dive sites. Carriacou has some of the
best dive spots in the world with clear waters, pristine coral reefs, amazing
wrecks, and magical drifts. The island's charm lies in its laidback
rejuvenating escape from the fast-paced world. It is a very safe island where
you do not have to worry about crime or violence. Muggings are virtually
unheard of and even petty thefts are very rare.
WHY CHOOSE US?
Our Story in Carriacou is to work closely
with the community and people like yourself to make a sustainable difference in
marine conservation awareness and education. Caribbean Reef Buddy (CRB) does this
through the delivery of environmental and conservation projects that are
linked to global ecological and social themes. Our projects include assessing
marine species and coral health, repopulation of our reef systems, and
supporting greater awareness within our local schools.
You too can write a chapter in our ongoing
story of how our Reef Buddies took some time and made a huge difference on this
tropical island paradise. Your story can not only include your first-hand
experience of delivering our projects, but also of your hikes in the tropical
forests, your walks along deserted beaches, and the bond you’ll make with new
friends from all over the world. Join us in the Caribbean as we help you to
start a new chapter in your story.
