What We Do

The main aim of WICRA is to encourage the engagement of other groups, such as other local NGOs or CBOs, fishing cooperatives, tourism companies, scientists or individuals who want to help protect and restore the spectacular coral reefs of the Caribbean Windward Islands. 


Our objectives are:

  • Promote awareness and compliance for a Code of Practice to protect coral reefs - see below

  • Scaling up coral restoration with wider 
  • Supporting new livelihoods in reef restoration – such as teams of coral gardener



Joining WICRA carries no direct monetary cost as membership is free and voluntary. The main ask is to promote and comply with a Code of Practice that is designed to protect coral reefs and reduce harmful impacts of human activities.
