The Science we need for Healthy and Resilient Coral Reefs in the Pacific

Abstract

The Pacific is home to around 25% of the world’s coral reefs. Reefs are critical for the future of the Pacific Island People. They provide food and nutrition, protection from the sea, etc. and play an important role on the culture of the Pacific. In September 2021, the Members of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) endorsed the Pacific Coral Reef Action Plan.
