\u00c1ngela Amalia Corvea Mart\u00ednez, or as we call her, <\/span><\/strong>Angelita Corvea, \u00a0is a Cuban dynamo who founded the nonprofit conservation organization ACUALINA in Havana, Cuba in 2003.\u00a0\u00a0The mission of Acualina is “To transmit environmental education to the population, mainly, to kids, to change people\u2019s attitude and mobilize their minds in favor of the health of the environment so they can face the challenges of the current world.\u00a0”<\/p>\n

Craig and I met Angelita when we arrived in Havana, Cuba, \u00a0to begin a multi-year\u00a0coral reef survey of Cuba.\u00a0 She was\u00a0working at the Cuban Institute of Oceanography and we became true friends.\u00a0 We encouraged and supported Angelita’s growing efforts to provide environmental education and hands-on projects focussed on cleaning up the world.\u00a0\u00a0 In a remarkable way, Angelita\u00a0has enlisted\u00a0Cuban\u00a0students to become involved in marine debris clean-ups of shorelines\u00a0in and around \u00a0Havana, Cuba.\u00a0 She has written numerous articles promoting coral reef protection.\u00a0 Despite great challenges, Angelita succeeded in expanding awareness of the importance of marine biodiversity in thousands of young Cuban citizens through her efforts at Acualina.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

To achieve this progress, Angelita has worn many hats: \u00a0 Community Environmental Educator, Coordinator, Member of Organizing Committees and Bearer of Reports in Scientific Events and of Environmental, National and International Conservation; \u00a0popularization of topics of Environmental Education through the massive means of communication (TV, radio and written press); \u00a0Consultant and Environmental Tutor as extracurricular activity to primary and secondary schools, local and municipal exhibitions; Talks and Actions with the community and other centers; \u00a0Member of the Environment Commission and of that of hydrographic basins of the West in the Municipal Government of Playa; Coordinator of the International Campaign \u201cClean up The World\u201d:\u00a0Save your piece! in the municipality of Play; affiliated to the Environment Committee of the United Nations, member of the Scientific Committee of the World Underwater Federation and the Cuban Underwater Federation.<\/p>\n

Most of all, Angelita has shown the vision and determination to make a difference in her world by spreading awareness and support for protecting the marine environment of Cuba.\u00a0 She has received numerous awards including a Coral Polyp Award for Ouststanding Leadership from Reef Relief and even came to Key West to receive the award at our annual Membership Meeting.<\/p>\n
