Mesoamerican Reef System Fund - MARFUND
In 2004, the Mesoamerican Reef System Fund (MAR Fund), better known by its English name MAR Fund, was established. This regional organization brings together four Environmental Funds from four different countries: PACT Belize, Fundación para la Conservación de los Recursos Naturales y Ambiente en Guatemala (FCG), Fundación Biosfera (Honduras) and the Fondo Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (FMCN).
With its work it aims to inspire regional and innovative solutions to critical issues in the Mesoamerican Reef, through significant and long-term financial support. To achieve this, they call for project selection and funding, implement directly and with partners, and raise funds for specific initiatives. Three of their major programs are Community Fisheries, Small Grants and the Coastal and Marine Protected Areas Network.
