Grant Overview
The US Virgin Islands face significant barriers to marine conservation, including limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and competing economic interests. The Marine Conservation Initiative grant aims to address these barriers by supporting community-based conservation initiatives, marine protected areas, and eco-tourism development. To be successful, applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of the territory's unique marine ecosystem and a proven track record of working with local stakeholders, including fishermen and tourism operators. The grant prioritizes projects that can effectively balance conservation goals with economic development needs. The grant funding ranges from $25,000 to $250,000 over one to three years. The US Virgin Islands' 87,000 residents are spread across three main islands: St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. Unlike Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands require applicants to demonstrate a strong understanding of the territory's tourism-based economy and its impact on marine conservation efforts. ## Overcoming Barriers to Marine Conservation in the US Virgin Islands ## Who Faces Barriers to Marine Conservation ## The US Virgin Islands' Marine Conservation Landscape
