## Resource

The Caribbean’s ocean economy, worth nearly $407 billion annually, is under siege—coral reefs alone generate $4 billion yearly through tourism, fisheries, and coastal protection. But rising sea levels, climate change, overfishing, and pollution are pushing the ocean to breaking point. Jamaica lost 57% of its annual GDP after Hurricane Melissa, and 75-85% of wastewater flows untreated into the sea, while 320,000 tons of plastic go uncollected each year. Coral cover has plummeted by 50%, threatening food security and livelihoods. With the UN warning the ocean is “in deep trouble,” the region must act now to protect its lifeblood—before it’s too late.
