NextGen Grants $100,000 to Ducks Unlimited de México A.C.

The NextGen Committee of the Ray C. Anderson Foundation has awarded a $100,000 grant to Ducks Unlimited de México A.C. (DUMAC), to improve infrastructure and conserve blue carbon through erosion control and protection of 94,016 acres of the Seri First Nation Reservation in the area of Canal del Infiernillo in the mid-Pacific coastal state of Sonora, México.

Most immediately, the Committee’s grant to DUMAC will allow a team of local engineers and biologists to move forward in partnership with Seri leaders to control erosion and make sanitation infrastructure improvements in the town of Punta Chueca, where 95% of the homes lack running water and 45% of the septic systems are degraded, causing organic runoff that pollutes the surrounding coastal seagrass beds and mangroves.
