Where they are now

As March roars in like a lion here in New England, the Three Seas Program students are diving with sharks in Coiba National Park, a marine reserve consisting of 35 islands in the Gulf of Chiriqui. Isla Coiba was once a penal colony, with very restricted access. This former de-facto reserve is now protected under the authority of the National Authority for the Environment (Autoridad Nacional del Ambiente, ANAM).
