THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THE CHANGE

Allies, Partners, and Donors

Collaboration is essential to protect the Mesoamerican Reef (MAR). By forming strategic alliances with organizations, communities, donors and individuals who are dedicated to marine conservation, we drive transformative projects that strengthen local capacities and promote the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources.

Allies and Partners

At the MAR Fund, we work alongside  a diverse network of technical, community, and environmental organizations that work directly in the field to care for the MAR. These organizations implement projects on the front lines and enrich our work by sharing knowledge, local expertise, and innovative approaches.

We learn from their reef restoration, waste management, marine species protection, community strengthening, and other practices. Together, we develop territory-specific solutions, promote the exchange of best practices, and build capacities that extend beyond individual projects. This active collaboration allows us to advance toward more sustainable and resilient conservation efforts that have a collective impact.

Donors
 

We are deeply grateful to the foundations, development agencies, and individual donors who trust in MAR Fund and enable us to fund high-impact initiatives. Thanks to their support, we have made tangible progress in reef and mangrove restoration, protection of iconic marine species, and strengthening environmental governance in the region. Every contribution strengthens the resilience of the Mesoamerican Reef and creates lasting benefits for current and future generations.
