New CCC Projects Launched
Added to website: 28 November 2006
Coral Cay Conservation (CCC) has launched CCC Projects to tailor for those interested in marine conservation but who, through time constraints, are unable to commit to 3 week+ expeditions.
CCC is a British-based not-for-profit, international award-winning organization, dedicated to providing resources to help sustain livelihoods and alleviate poverty through the protection, restoration and management of coral reefs and tropical rainforests.
CCC Projects are truly unique. Led by top marine scientists, they provide a rare opportunity for members of the public to gain hands on experience of surveying some of the world’s most spectacular marine environments. The new and exciting projects include 1 week and 2 week options, plus tailor-made Conservation Holidays in the Philippines, Tobago or the Red Sea.
