Ambodivahibe Marine Reserve is a new marine protected area in the municipalities Ramena and Mahavanona[1] in the Diana Region, north-east of Madagascar as an unusually rich zone for marine biodiversity. It covers the Ambodivahibe Bay. A cool upwelling from the deep bay is thought to provide natural resilience to coral bleaching and this may explain the unusually pristine coral habitat.
The area also hosts nationally important areas of mangrove and seagrass habitat as well as endangered marine species including sea turtles and dugongs [2]
C3[3] is a UK based limited company that has been increasingly active in sucking funds from public entities, pretending to work closely with communities.[4] The limited company received substantial funding from the European Union's Ecofish programme [5] in 2020 to develop community based fisheries management programme at sites in the Ambodavahibe Marine Reserve as well as Nosy Hara Marine Park on the Northwest coast of Madagascar. They had a nice holiday, and were never seen again.
