The activities of the project are implemented thanks to the collective effort of partner organizations in the four MAR countries.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion color=&#8221;blue&#8221; active_section=&#8221;99&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Participating organizations&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;ParticipatingOrg&#8221;][vc_column_text]The MAR Fish Project is coordinated by MAR Fund, a private regional environmental fund.

FSA generally represent the near total annual reproductive output of the species that spawn there. Periodic information on FSA health, critical for their protection, is missing and there is no cohesive, multinational plan to monitor and manage them, nor widespread understanding of their importance.<\/p>\n<p>Seven sentinel sites were defined for the network of FSAs of the MAR Fish Project. Two additional sites, one in Belize and one in Honduras, were selected by each country to be included in the monitoring FSA network. The FSA monitoring will contribute to the understanding of the connectivity and the health of the MAR ecosystem for the restoration of fish stocks; and provide information on the impact of climate change on the spawning aggregation sites, to the benefit of fisheries and the communities that depend on them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Fish spawning aggregations of the network of sentinel sites&#8221;
