In partnership with NOAA, we conducted a detailed assessment of the condition of coral reefs on the leeward side of Bonaire, which has the reputation for being one of the most environmentally conscious islands in the Caribbean. Rapid assessments were carried out to determine the health and resilience of reefs. The team found supporting evidence for the claim that Bonaire’s reefs may be the healthiest in the Caribbean today.
