The Mesoamerican Reef Leadership Program (MAR-L) celebrated the graduation of its 2023 cohort in Puerto Morelos. The class included 21 leaders who developed 14 subprojects, 11 of which were led by women. These subprojects addressed topics such as tourism-based coral reef restoration, control of invasive species, waste management and recycling, and sustainable food production, showcasing the potential of nature-based businesses in the region. In addition, MAR-L made progress in the design of its 2025 cohort, aiming to collaborate with organizations in Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras to attract investment and promote positive-impact ventures and entrepreneurship across the region.
