In 2023, with support from Grupo Puntacana and Oceankind, the Dominican Marine Innovation Hub was constituted in Punta Cana and Bayahibe, where researchers and practitioners developing new approaches to scale up coral conservation and restoration are testing their solutions quickly to obtain robust data and user feedback. The innovation hub currently includes Puntacana Foundation and FUNDEMAR’s in-situ as well as onshore coral nurseries focused on asexual propagation, FUNDEMAR’s facilities focused on sexual propagation of corals, and FGPC’s wet and dry lab space. Staff of the Innovation Hub provide logistical and permitting support to visiting researchers and practitioners to facilitate the testing process so that promising prototypes can be turned into robust tools that are both technically and financially scalable.
