Fragments of Hope (FoH) has long-established acroporid nurseries and replenishment sites in southern Belize, using thermally tolerant corals identified via mapping and monitoring in Belize’s hottest (bleaching) conditions. In 2020, the focus shifted to northern Belize due to the appearance of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) throughout 3 MPAs there (Bacalar Chico, Hol Chan and Caye Caulker Marine Reserves) because the Caribbean acroporid corals are not susceptible to SCTLD, and they are the fastest growing, main reef building species. FoH has over 26 nurseries in 7 MPAs in Belize, and has outplanted over 156,000 corals nationwide.
