Intro

I am a coral reef researcher who has been involved in a wide range of coral reef conservation projects throughout the Mexican Caribbean. This includes environmental education, citizen science with a community focus, and scientific research on coral reef ecosystems, such as herbivory, biodiversity, and coral reef restoration. I have been supporting many socio-ecological projects in NGOs and collectives for love my whole life.

Currently, I have been exploring the use of the Gitcoin stack with MesoReefDAO and GreenPill Mexico since 2023. I have been active on Twitter supporting Gitcoin in Twitter/X spaces since Gitcoin Beta. As a crypto and blockchain enthusiast, I am passionate about finding innovative solutions to the challenges facing coral reefs and how we can create impact and webs of coordination to mitigate anthropogenic impacts.

I will put 5 actions that I have been doing in the Gitcoin Forum and in some events where I talk about Gitcoin 2023 - 2024:

1. I have been active since July 2023 on Gitcoin Governance reading and learning about certain topics regarding public goods, DeSci, Data Analytics, and Theoretical Perspectives and actions of Gitcoin.

2. I Participated in the Nominations for the GG20 Council Round, which I lost, was a good experiment. Twitter/X post (98 views, obtained 13.396 votes on jokerace, 18th Place)

3. SciOS Ethereum Denver 2024: I talked about the Situation of DeSci in Latin America (Twitter/X thread: ~1.7k views) with a focus on public goods in DeSci, and how many initiatives have been creating synergies in the region with the use of the Gitcoin Stack (Slides 9 & 10. Additionally, [Sophia of Gitcoin and Hypercerts]((https://twitter.com/sodofi_) gave a talk about how web3 users and scientists can eventually quantify on-chain actions and impacts.

4. Create a Twitter/X thread regarding my volunteering on the 1st of March at the Ecosystem Growth Summit presented by Gitcoin x Electric Capital. I participated in the logistics of ticketing and assisted attendees. During the event, I shared some perspectives and met many friends from Gitcoin and the web3 space. It was an awesome experience!

5. Since the experience at the Ecosystem Growth Summit presented by Gitcoin x Electric Capital, I have spoken with Mathilda and Cici, and I have decided to create the Official Spanish translation of the Gitcoin 2.0 white paper and the Visual Guide too, we are looking to add it to the main page for hispanic people!

I'm not sure about the impact of these translations, but they are necessary due to the situation of the Digital Divide, and Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.

Gitcoin is a public good movement in web3 and is thriving everywhere! Thanks!! 🌊🍄🌱💻⛓️✨💚
