Dear Diego,

It gives me great pleasure to accept Conservacion Terrazul into the Reef Ball Foundation’s grant programs, Reefs Around the World. We place a high priority on environmental and research programs and your letter demonstrates that your organization places a strong emphasis on both. Your application demonstrates that you have put a great deal of thought and work in planning the project and this area makes an interesting research project. As well as developing a program that will help raise awareness to the importance of our reefs systems and marine habitat.

In keeping with the grant requirements, we require a monitoring program-two monitoring updates per year for three years and please send us any press/newsletters relating to the Reef Balls.(Please see grant requirements and the benefits you are now eligible for on our website:www.reefball.org) As you are developing your program, we are keen on community collaboration and educational components that help raise awareness to the importanct of the our reef systems and marine habitat. From experience, we have found that adding these components adds greater life to the project as the community gets ownership in the project. Please contact us when you are ready to proceed, so we can help you determine the best course for your project.

We are excited about our new partnership with about Conservacion Terrazul and developing a stellar habitat restoration and research program. Please contact Todd Barber or myself if you have any further questions. We look forward to working with your organization.

Sincerely,

Katherine Kirbo

Executive Director,
