Marine Park Research Projects
Research is an essential component of successful marine resource management. Besides enabling the RMP to monitor the effectiveness of our conservation efforts, scientific information feeds into our education programs, allowing us to continually improve the information that we continually disseminate to the public. The more that people understand about the responses of the marine environment to man’s activities, the more they become empowered to participate in our activities and take responsibility for protection of the marine environment upon which their livelihoods depend. The RMP is currently working together with other countries in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef region leading research regarding coral bleaching and lionfish on Roatán.
