The donation to The Nature Conservancy and many other environmental groups underscores its commitment. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With 101 ships traveling the world&#8217;s oceans and seas and more than 700 ports of call, our deep commitment to protecting and sustaining our environment is a top corporate priority,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Roger Frizzell<\/span>, chief communications officer for Carnival Corporation, who also oversees the Carnival Foundation. &#8220;On the eve of World Oceans Day on <span class=\"xn-chron\">June 8<\/span>, it is fitting to applaud The Nature Conservancy for again making great strides in identifying critical areas for public and private action in support of our oceans and seas, such as coastal production and fish population levels. We are proud to continue to support The Nature Conservancy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also through the support of the Carnival Foundation, in the past year The Nature Conservancy was able to generate for decision makers new comprehensive data about coral reef conditions throughout the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span>, as well as research on the success of conservation efforts tied to oyster reefs and new maps of fish production connected to <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> mangrove growths. <\/p>\n<p>Carnival Corporation also hosted The Nature Conservancy&#8217;s 2016 Mapping Ocean Wealth conference in January at its <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami<\/span> corporate headquarters, where conservationists and decision-makers from around the world came together to discuss ocean sustainability initiatives. As a result of the annual meeting, The Nature Conservancy&#8217;s data on mapping vast ocean resources is now being directly displayed in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iadb.org\/en\/library\/spatial-agent-an-amazing-mobile-app,19488.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The World Bank&#8217;s Spatial Agent<\/a>, its decision-support tool used by World Bank economists and government leaders to identify the most pressing social and environmental issues the World Bank can address.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Nature Conservancy truly appreciates Carnival Foundation&#8217;s support for our global and <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span>-specific oceans conservation work,&#8221; said Maria Damanaki, global managing director for The Nature Conservancy&#8217;s Ocean Program. &#8220;Carnival Foundation&#8217;s five-year commitment to preserving the world&#8217;s vital marine resources \u2013 and the many benefits they provide \u2013 has a major impact on our efforts.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Added Damanaki: &#8220;As we look ahead to the next three years, by supporting our Caribbean Challenge Initiative, Carnival Foundation&#8217;s support will help nearly triple the protection of the region&#8217;s iconic waters and coasts by helping conserve 21 million acres of these important areas. Through The Nature Conservancy&#8217;s Mapping Ocean Wealth project, Carnival Foundation&#8217;s support will also provide a fundamentally new kind of ocean knowledge that is needed to protect our waters and transform their management now and for generations to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Public awareness campaigns are another important aspect of building support for conservation in the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span>. The previous year has seen a variety of community education initiatives, made possible from Carnival Corporation and the Carnival Foundation. These include the production of songs, music videos, Public Service Announcements, presentations, beach clean-ups and billboards. As with all The Nature Conservancy&#8217;s efforts, the collateral material is geared towards raising awareness and participation in initiatives designed to support a balanced approach to preserving marine habitats throughout the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> and around the world.<\/p>\n<p><b>About\u00a0The Nature Conservancy<br \/><\/b>The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to protect the lands and waters on which all life depends.
