MAR-L benefits more than 2 million people who depend on the reef's health.
MAR-L has proven to be a platform to scale projects and create synergies internationally. In 13 years of operation, it has trained 145 leaders from the four countries and has incubated over 80 conservation projects. More than 67 leaders have advanced to positions of greater responsibility, and 25 leaders have influenced the public policies of their country. From the relationships developed in MAR-L, 38 multinational synergies have emerged, and more than 25 leaders have received financing from the Mesoamerican Reef Fund (MAR Fund) to implement their projects and consultancies.
In 2023, its tenth generation concluded with 21 leaders focused on strengthening the ecological and community resilience of the region. Additionally, MAR-L taught modules on key topics such as entrepreneurship and finance and conducted mentoring sessions, accelerating the implementation of last year's initiatives. Four intergenerational virtual meetings strengthened knowledge sharing and personal development, contributing significantly to the health of the SAM and benefiting more than two million people who depend on the reef's health.
