Karen H. Koltes, Ph.D, records data at a CARICOMP site. By measuring ocean health in the same way at sites across the Caribbean, it's possible to understand where coastal environments are the most stressed out. "If people get their act together very soon, there is still hope of reversing some of these changes," said Rachel Collin, director of the Bocas del Toro Research Station at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, one of the participating marine-monitoring stations.
