The US Caribbean is a world of coral reef, mangrove, and tropical forest, where El Yunque rises green and dripping above Puerto Rico and the reefs off St. John and St. Croix shelter a marine life of dazzling variety. These are islands in every sense: bounded, self-contained, and acutely exposed to hurricanes and warming seas that arrive with more force each decade.
The organizations here restore coral reefs and mangrove coastlines, protect the tropical forest and the species found only on these islands, and help island communities build resilience against the storms that keep coming. Their work is a frontline defense of some of the most beautiful and vulnerable ecosystems under the American flag.
