I'm off to Miami for one day of meetings with all the coordinating partners of the Mesoamerican Reef Tourism Initiative (MARTI), a joint project of CORAL, Conservation International’s Center for Environmental Leadership in Business, and Cancun-based Amigos de Sian Ka’an. Our combined vision for change along the Mesoamerican Reef is to see tourism become a force for biodiversity conservation and sustainable community development. To do this we are engaging key sectors of the tourism industry — hotels, marine recreation operators, and cruise lines — to significantly reduce the industry’s environmental footprint and maximize its contributions to the protection of the Mesoamerican Reef.I hate one-day trips like this that have me cross a continent and spew a massive carbon trail only to sit in a room for eight hours and then head straight back. Isn't this why Polycom was invented? Anyway, if anything interesting happens I'll be sure to share.
