MARINE IMPACT

Marine Impact is the happy result of two areas of expertise merging; marine conservation and volunteering. It's a fusion of marine biologists, led by Dr Gretchen Goodbody-Gringley, and the team behind African Impact, a leading volunteer company with nearly two decades of experience in developing and running award-winning volunteer projects... With a PhD from Harvard University on genetic connectivity in various coral species, Gretchen is a reef ecologist particularly focused on the way coral reefs and their role in maintaining our oceans' biodiversity. Based in the Cayman Islands, she heads up the Central Caribbean Marine Institute, an organization that turns cutting edge marine research into conservation-oriented projects. Gretchen and her team bring both expertise in marine biology and passion for marine conservation to our marine volunteer projects; ingredients that ensure high impact programs...
