Field Education and experiences during the 2017 Penn State CHANCE program in Cuba prompted the following research to be conducted in an attempt to answer: What efforts exist in the U. S. to protect and preserve coral reef ecosystems? Are there collaborations between the U.S. and Cuba? Comparative analysis of conservation policies and practices between these two countries was used to answer these questions and to develop recommendations to enhance coral reef conservation in Cuba.
