Eco-Center Project

The objective of this project was to build an exemplarily and unique Marine Research and Education Center using eco-friendly and waste zero techniques.

Environmental Benefits 
The building will use eco-friendly techniques that are simple but well planned to reduce environmental impacts during the construction phase, as well as when the center is operating. The main materials used for the structure of the center will be glass bottles, wood from old and non-productive coconut trees, other recyclable materials, a small amount of cement and rocks. The combination of coconut wood with glass bottles will be a national and international example of sustainable use of natural resources and might be replicated in other areas reducing environmental damage.
Social Benefits
During the building phase, local community members will learn skills on sustainable building and use of alternative resources including recycled material. This learning experience and skills can improve their livelihood and well being.

The socio-environmental benefits do not stop with the building project. Environmental education is crucial to raise the level of understanding about environmental issues and allow people to take decisions based on robust knowledge. For us, education is the baseline of sustainable development.

Thank YOU!
