Education and Awareness

We educate and inform the youth and other members of the community on marine and coastal environment, emphasizing the value of conservation, sustainable management of resources and the different problems/challenges affecting our environment.

Environmental education and information dissemination hold the key to reversing the destruction and arresting the depletion of our natural resources by increasing environmental and conservational consciousness and behavior of individuals for a sustainable future.

We have developed the Coastal Resources Education for Students and Teachers (CREST) Training Program designed to incorporate the study of marine environment in the school curriculum of primary, secondary and tertiary levels (NSTP / CWTS Program), as well as, in technical / vocational schools. This is a very significant step in attaining the objectives of environmental education, not merely as an academic requirement, but as a significant tool in the formation of values for our future generation.

BRI has also produced promotional materials such as brochures, booklets, posters and audio-visual materials about marine conservation and protection and rehabilitation of degraded reefs and mangrove forests.
