Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2002 and building partnerships in education, research and knowledge for the benefit of reefs worldwide. The GBRRF is advised by an International Scientific Advisory Committee. Contact: David Windsor, GBRRF, 320 Adelaide St. Brisbane 4000 Australia, david.windsor@barrierreef.org, www.barrierreef.org GCRMN – GLOBAL CORAL REEF MONITORING NETWORK The GCRMN was formed in 1995 as an operational unit of ICRI. The GCRMN is in partnership with ReefBase and Reef Check, which constitute the central direction. The GCRMN is sponsored by IOC-UNESCO, UNEP, IUCN, CBD, the World Bank, AIMS, WorldFish Center and the ICRI Secretariat and central coordination is supported by the U.S. Department of State and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration through contributions to IOC-UNESCO and UNEP. IUCN currently Chairs the Management Group of the GCRMN, and the Global Coordinator is hosted at AIMS. The GCRMN seeks to encourage and coordinate three overlapping levels of monitoring: Community - monitoring by communities, fishers, schools, colleges, tourist operators and tourists over broad areas with less detail, to provide information on the reef status and causes of damage using Reef Check methodology and approaches; Management - monitoring by predominantly tertiary trained personnel in Government environment or fisheries departments, and universities for moderate coverage of reefs at higher resolution and detail using methods developed in Southeast Asia or comparable methods; Research - high resolution monitoring over small scales by scientists and institutes currently monitoring reefs for research. Equal emphasis is placed on monitoring to gather ecological and socio-economic data, with manuals available for both. A major objective is to produce 2 yearly national, regional and global Status of Coral Reefs Report, such as those that form the basis for this report. The GCRMN functions as a network of independent Regional Nodes that coordinate training, monitoring and databases within participating countries and institutes in regions based on the UNEP Regional Seas Programme: Middle East – Nodes are assisted by the Regional Organisation for the Conservation of the Environment of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (PERSGA) and the Regional Organisation for the Protection of the Marine Environment (ROPME), Contact: Abdullah Alsuhaibany, abdullah.alsuhaibany@persga.org; or Hassan Mohammadi, ropme@qualitynet.net Eastern Africa – assisting Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa and Tanzania operating through the CORDIO network in Mombasa, in association with the Kenya Wildlife Service.
