The Reef Resilience Network, with generous support of NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program and The Nature Conservancy, is pleased to announce an upcoming webinar on preparing, monitoring and responding to coral bleaching in the Western Indian Ocean. Over the past three years, coral reefs have experienced a temporary refuge in the La Niña phase. However,
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Coral Bleaching: Toolkit & Comprehensive Guide by the Coral Reef Alliance. In a world where coral reefs are facing unprecedented challenges, this toolkit is a beacon of hope, gathering essential information about coral bleaching in one convenient resource. Inside, you’ll discover a treasure trove of educational content
This year, Coral Guardian is launching a call for proposals for projects that want to join the Blue Center program. The Blue Center program, created by Coral Guardian, provides training and support for local structures to develop their own coral conservation projects involving local communities. The call is open to locally registered non-profit organizations focusing
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

Coral reefs in the Seychelles and the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region have been destroyed by ocean warming and coral bleaching events. Seychelles is dependent on coral reefs for healthy oceans, as well as for fisheries and tourism, both the main pillars of its economy. A decade ago, an ambitious ground-breaking coral reef restoration project
AZoCleantech speaks to Dr. Matthew Holland, currently at the University of Plymouth, UK, about his UNSW team’s recent research on artificial reefs and how they can improve fishing sustainability. Holland also discusses why we must preserve natural reefs and the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs). How did you begin your research into coral reefs? Although some species
