But they increasingly found bleached and dying corals, which many fish depend upon.

To improve the area, the fishers have partnered with GoldenEye Foundation to start the Oracabessa Bay Marine Trust, through which they are trained to become divers and to manage restoration programs. The trust also patrols the water to combat destructive fishing practices.
