As coral reefs face increasing local and global threats, managing them effectively requires managers to extend their focus beyond the reef boundaries. By incorporating both ecological and social aspects of the reef system, managers can implement a wider range of adaptation strategies that increase reef resilience. The Reef Resilience Network is hosting a mentored version of the new Resilience-Based Management Online Course with global experts. Beginning with an overview of coral reef resilience principles, this course provides a core understanding of how to build resilience into management and introduces learners to a process that will provide guidance on developing a resilience strategy at the local scale. This mentored course features four self-paced online lessons, webinars that dive deeper into lesson content, and access to experts in the field. The Resilience-Based Management Online Course was developed with global experts, in partnership with the Resilient Reefs Initiative, Great Barrier Reef Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coral Reef Conservation Program, and the International Coral Reef Initiative. Registration closes on the 30th of April 2023 and the course will run from the 1st of May to the 2nd of June 2023.
