Ocean Health Index is an endeavor by Conservation International, the New England Aquarium, and the National Geographic Society that establish a measurement system for the health of the world’s oceans, a baseline index against which future changes can be measured.
The OHI provides a ranking of how various countries fare. One of the best indicators of how well a country or region will fare is the extent to which it is industrialized; the best indicator is whether or not it is inhabited.
Ocean Health Index has just ranked Antigua as #1 in the Caribbean and 8th in the world for the condition of our coastal areas and waters. We protect our eco-system not so much for us, but for our children's future.
