About CubaMar

CubaMar (cubamar.org), a program of The Ocean Foundation, has worked with key Cuban institutions for 17 years, the longest of any U.S.-based organization. We conduct collaborative scientific research to advance and inform conservation policy efforts in Cuba and the Wider Caribbean. We also run people-to-people SCUBA diving trips to Guanahacabibes National Park on the western point of Cuba. Please contact us at http://www.cubamar.org/contact-us.html to learn more.
