This Guide is a practical, complementary tool for coral reef restoration training. Any individuals wishing to start a restoration project must contact local authorities to learn about the legal implications and obtain the corresponding permits, as well as join working groups with restoration experience to receive proper training. It was produced the Mesoamerican Reef Fund (MAR Fund), Mesoamerican Reef Rescue Initiative (RRI) with the support of ICRI and the UN Environment Programme Small Grants Program.
