NOAA Green Construction Rewards Program
The NOAA Green Construction Training Programs are ready to begin July 16 on St. John. IGLA/IGBA is currently implementing a media campaign targeted at the construction community that promotes upcoming educational workshops in green building — with the ultimate goal of reducing land-based sources of pollution such as erosion and sedimentation that can harm our coral reefs. Funded by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coral Reef Conservation Program grant, IGLA/IGBA is working directly with NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service Caribbean Field Office in implementing this media campaign.
