Working locally with traditional fishers, coastal and indigenous communities, we focus on generating information necessary for management and decision-making through collaborative research and monitoring, capacity building, income diversification, and outreach.

Where We Work

Global issues require global efforts.

We start small and generate a proof of concept for our demand driven work to understand and protect large marine wildlife. Following success and local demand or need, our research and conservation initiatives are scaled up with in-country partners through careful replication and adaptation to new sites and conditions. Registered in the US as 501(c)3 and in Belize, Cabo Verde and Panama as  non-profits, MarAlliance is based in Belize with a strong regional focus in Central America and the Caribbean.
