The project had a number of innovative elements. It brought together the elements of a smartphone (camera, gps, dropdown menu's) and designed a recreational site management system to utilise them - this is a world first.
It is an open system so additional devices can be added - people counters, flood monitors all via Internet of things (IOT)

Actions that generate the commitment of all relevant stakeholders in the development of the project (project executing organization, protected area authorities, local communities, visitors, business sector).

Seek funding from different sources (international cooperation, private donors, governments, etc.).

multiple pages, tabs and pull down menus allow visitors to download both learning tools and manuals and referernces and access articles and videos. "Teacher's Corner" page was added with local schools' input to supplement mandated curriula in Belize with coloring books and other aids specefic to Belize's reef and marine life.

in order to be feasible, planning of protected areas and socio-ecosystems must have an impact on land use planning instruments.

In order to address the challenges faced by society in social, economic, environmental and cultural terms, commitments have been adopted at the global level and subscribed to by States in different agendas, each with particular intervention approaches (rights, ecosystemic, urban-regional, disaster prevention and risk management and/or climate change). which of these approaches is appropriate for effective territorial management of biodiversity and social inclusion? All. The reality of the territories is diverse, complex and has very specific problems and potentials, which require cooperative, concurrent, complementary and multi-scale work of social and institutional actors to harmonize and implement the actions proposed in the planning instruments, in such a way that they respond to the identified needs, in order to prevent and manage socio-environmental conflicts, advance in the conservation of nature and human wellbeing.Combining rights, ecosystemic, urban-rural, risk management and climate change approaches is necessary to manage territories in an integral and pertinent manner.

Thousands of volunteer coral reef observers in Colombia report daily with photos and videos. We need to verify reports when they are early warnings to avoid negative impacts. We require specialized equipment for the realization of Virtual Reality and Recorded Reality (underwater videographers, 360 degree cameras and accessories, viewers, editing and projection equipment with internet connection in remote and urban locations where the demonstration project is implemented with healthy reef memories. We plan to share images in the local community, to the whole country and to foreigners in the world so they can compare what is happening in these coral reefs and the rest of the Caribbean region. The Virtual Reality / Recorded Reality experience to people who do not know the reefs / or cannot visit them engages them in environmentally friendly behavioral changes in the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals 13 and 14 and the Aichi Targets 13 (Maintain Genetic Biodiversity) and 16 (Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Diversity).(Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to be in force and operational, in accordance with national legislation).

It is necessary to be able to integrate the local community in all planning, execution and monitoring of the projects to be carried out in their territory, since this way it is possible to promote sustainability through education and empowerment of the population. The community participates by attending training sessions, offering and providing their own content (such as yoga classes in the reserve, painting activities on local flora and fauna, musical bands with open calls, sustainable fairs) and participating in all events organized in the reserve.

Native plant communities have a greater capacity to adapt to climate change thanks to their inter-specific interactions and their close relationship with native fauna. This means that in order to restore degraded areas, it is always advisable to use native species in order to ensure the success of the action over time. The restoration of spaces through reforestation with native species represents one of the cornerstones of our project, not only for the multiple environmental benefits, but also for the learning and results in social and cultural terms.

Since 2016, we have been working on a daily basis, providing free training workshops on different environmental topics and issues to students from both public and private institutions at all levels, using formal, non-formal and informal education in the country. We understand that in order to conserve natural resources and achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to include environmental issues in the curricular agenda, so that young people get involved and build a healthier and fairer future.

Some of the workshops are on biodiversity, climate crisis, 3Rs, ecosystem services and more, alternating between theoretical blocks and practical group activities.

Point Esperanza was declared with the community of artisanal fishermen and inhabitants of villages near the reefs who are the guardians. Dive operators are reporting their daily observations to the Observatory. We need to demonstrate at a global, national and local level how to monitor with 360 degree videos so that they can interact in Virtual Reality.

Our methodology is based on a combination of Waterfall and Agile is to clearly identify the concrete objectives as well as general ideas given by the stakeholders that guide the implementation of the project to obtain the expected results to improve the effectiveness of the conservation of the Colombian Caribbean Coastal Reefs. The second thing is to evaluate with measurement indicators what is already working. And what we achieve is to involve the community and increase governance by improving the behavior of ecological, social and economic indicators. We will also apply the Agile methodology because it is considered one of the most interactive, since we already have experience in the evaluation of results, we can intervene to improve any phase of the project that requires flexibility in the adjustment, which reduces the complexity, and therefore, the risk.
