Our programs carefully align with our Mission and Vision and aim to provide value to Belize and Lighthouse reef. Our startup is self funded and we strive to bring even more funding into the country as opposed to taxing its current resources.
Our core program is our Citizen Science initiative (CSI). CSI brings people from around the world to travel in a different way and see the world through the eyes of scientists.
Here is what else we have in the works:
- Weather Watch Filling the void of real time weather and climate data on Lighthouse Reef. Program Concept
- BlueShield First Response Program Proposal for Funding: Establishing and Implementing a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for First Responders in Lighthouse Reef Atoll, Belize. Program concept
- Reef Cleanup Performing active trash cleanup for Lighthouse Reef
- Visiting Researchers Networking and providing an outpost for researchers to put their skills to use.
- Reef Impact Offset program This program presents incentives for tour operators, resort managers and tourists to take specific action that lessens human impact on the reef.
- Satellite Data Monitoring Partnering with global data collection agencies to share real time information with regulation enforcement agencies.
- Research Data Repository Many researchers have done a fantastic job of gathering data and making reports that contribute to evidence of change. This program centralizes that information for all visitors.
- Mangrove Restoration The Lr³ Mangrove Restoration Project restores red mangroves around Long Caye, addressing pollution, erosion, climate resilience, and exploring carbon credits for sustainable funding. Program Concept
