ReefCheck Case Study
The vision of this experience was to develop sustainable fishing practices as well as
alternatives to fishing in order to sustain livelihoods in fishing communities in the
Dominican Republic. These communicates had already determined that alternative
livelihoods were an appropriate and desirable approach to solve the overfishing and lack
of management for conservation of their marine resources. Toward that end, REEF
CHECK and the Peace Corps have been working with APEJU leaders to begin a reef
monitoring program, address organizational challenges, and establish permanent
protection of an area where APEJU currently limits fishing.
