The Reef Ball project in MACHALILLA, Ecuador was started and gotten all its permissions from the Government in .
Update: Feb 2007 "After I did grad school in California I cameback to Ecuador and created a new organization called EQUILIBRIO AZUL
(www.equilibrioazul.org). We still working in marine affairs. At this point I want to start working again at the reefs.
One of our main concerns is coral depletion due to anchor impacts. We are currently designing a project to settle
anchor buoys. However, I would like to concentrate our efforts also restoring the dameged coral."
