San Andrés, Colombia, is the biggest island in the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve, containing parts of one of the richest coral reefs in the world.
Known as ‘the island in the Sea of the Seven Colors’, it is no coincidence that this Colombian island is a world-class scuba diving destination with crystal clear waters visited by over a million people each year. But being so ‘in demand’ has a key downside: San Andrés’ unique ecosystems and natural resources have been deeply impacted.
A women-led community organization is working to restore some of the most important marine ecosystems in the world and paving the way for bigger women's representation in ocean science.
