Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2002 CARICOMP – CARIBBEAN COASTAL MARINE PRODUCTIVITY PROGRAM This is a regional network of 25 marine laboratories, parks, and reserves established by IOC-UNESCO in 1986 that has been monitoring long-term variation in ecosystem structure and functioning in coral reefs, seagrasses, and mangroves according to standardised protocols in relatively undisturbed sites. The network also responds to regional events such as coral bleaching events and hurricanes. The Caribbean Coastal Data Centre at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica archives the data and makes it available. CARICOMP contributes data to ReefBase and has initiated the GCRMN in the Caribbean. In 2000, CARICOMP designed and initiated several subregional research projects, including studies of larval linkages and coral diseases, related to long-term management and restoration of Caribbean coastal ecosystems. These projects are being expanded. The CARICOMP program networks institutions in 18 countries: Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, Panama, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, USA, and Venezuela.

Working in more than 30 countries over 4 continents, CI applies innovations in science, economics, policy and community participation to protect the Earth’s richest regions of plant and animal diversity. The Marine Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) of the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science at CI organizes scientific expeditions to document marine biodiversity as well as freshwater and terrestrial biodiversity hotspots, and tropical wilderness areas. Their conservation status and diversity are recorded using indicator groups (molluscs, corals and fish), and the results are combined with social, environmental and other ecosystem information to produce recommendations for protective measures to local communities and decision-makers. The main focus of Marine RAP surveys has been the ‘coral triangle’ in Southeast Asia, which contains the richest coastal and marine biodiversity in the world.

CORAL provides tools, resources and training to dive operators and resource managers to help them build capacity to sustainably manage their reefs. CORAL supports community-based organisations by providing financial and technical support for coral reef conservation in communities throughout the world. In addition, CORAL builds public awareness about coral reefs through various outreach programs, including the International Coral Reef Information Network (ICRIN). CORAL’s mission is to keep coral reefs alive. E-mail: info@coral.org; www.coral.org 362
Sponsoring Organisations, Coral Reef Programs and Monitoring Networks CORDIO – CORAL REEF DEGRADATION IN THE INDIAN OCEAN CORDIO is a regional, multi-disciplinary program developed to investigate the ecological and socio-economic consequences of the mass coral bleaching in 1998 and subsequent degradation of coral reefs in the Indian Ocean. CORDIO is an operational unit within ICRI. The objectives are to determine the: biophysical impacts of the bleaching and mortality of corals and long term prospects for recovery; socio-economic impacts of the coral mortality and options for mitigating these through management and development of alternative livelihoods for peoples dependent on coral reefs; and prospects for restoration and rehabilitation of reefs to accelerate their ecological and economic recovery. CORDIO assists and coordinates with the GCRMN in the Indian Ocean with monitoring and running the Node in East Africa. The participating countries are: Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Madagascar, Seychelles, India, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Reunion, Comores, Mauritius and Chagos.

The needs of end-users are incorporated into the design, instigation and progress of research. The CRC Reef Research Centre is in Townsville, Australia and its partners have internationally-recognised expertise in coral reef science, technology and management, and provide education and training to tourism and fisheries industries, and coral reef managers. It is a collaborative venture with researchers (Australian Institute of Marine Science; James Cook University, Queensland Department of Primary Industries), the tourism industry (Association of Marine Park Tourism Operators), the commercial and recreational fishing industry (Sunfish Queensland, Queensland Seafood industry Association), managers (Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority), and non-government organisations (Great Barrier Reef Research Foundation). Contact: Russell Reichelt, CRC Reef Research Centre, PO Box 772, Townsville 4810 Australia; E-mail: info@crcreef.com; or www.reef.crc.org.au GBRRF – GREAT BARRIER REEF RESEARCH FOUNDATION The Foundation was established to build on world-class science and encourage the application of research to ensure the sustainability, conservation, protection and responsible use and management of the world’s coral reefs. The GBRRF is a nongovernment, not-for-profit body that is independent of research providers and focussed on funding research that supports long-term practical solutions to the threats facing coral reefs. The GBRRF raises funds for research and ensures that the information is disseminated widely to assist in policy formulation for environmental conservation and community benefit. The Foundation aims to strengthen understanding of the human threats of coral reefs, mechanisms of reef restoration, developing alternative livelihoods 363
