Utila, Bay Islands, Honduras
Funding Opportunity!
Location Summary
Support Utila Inc is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization providing assistance to the island of Utila (Bay Islands, Honduras), and is looking to purchase or acquire an M2 radar system. Utila is part of the Bay Islands National Marine Park, which is north of the Honduran mainland in the Caribbean. The Bay Islands National Marine Park is the largest MPA in Honduras and prohibits certain fishing activities and development. An M2 deployed to the island would help the local community identify suspicious boat landings at night and document human use of the surrounding waters. Utila is approximately seven-miles long and would ideally install two systems, one at each end of the island.
