Opposite page: Thanks, in part, to the work of the Turks & Caicos Reef Fund, scenes like this Green turtle tucked into a stand of colorful coral,
taken at The Bight Reef (Coral Gardens), are still to be found in the country’s clear waters.

On May 10, 2020, the Turks & Caicos Reef Fund (TCRF) began its eleventh year as the only environmental
advocacy non-profit in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Founded in 2010 by Don Stark and David Stone, TCRF
has worked tirelessly as an advocate for the TCI’s environment. Let’s look back and reflect on what has
been accomplished over the past decade.
Stewards of the Sea
Ten years of environmental advocacy.
