But they are vulnerable to both land-based and water-based human activities, as well as climatic and oceanographic change. Mare Nostrum Caribbean is a five-year, $20 million project. The goal is to leverage the location of the USVI and UVI’s research capacity to study the issues and propose responses that support the natural resilience and tolerance of Caribbean coral reef ecosystems facing current and future external pressures. Mare Nostrum is led by VI-EPSCoR, at UVI, and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Areas of Major Focus for Mare Nostrum: • Coral Reef Research • Emerging Research • Workforce Development • Cyber Infrastructure • Outreach & Education • Citizen Science
