The project aims to reduce pollution from land-based sources, particularly the Beetham Wastewater Stabilisation Ponds, improve ecosystem health, contribute to biodiversity conservation in the Caroni Basin, and reduce marine hypoxia in surrounding coastal ecosystems and the Gulf of Paria, through the implementation of nature-based solutions.
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) includes several multilateral funds working together to address the planet's most pressing challenges in an integrated way. Over the past three decades, the GEF has provided more than $26 billion in financing, primarily as grants, and mobilized another $148 billion for country-driven priority projects.
