Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2002 MAC – MARINE AQUARIUM COUNCIL This is an international, multi-stakeholder, not-for-profit, NGO created to ensure the global trade in marine aquarium organisms is sustainable by creating standards and certification for those engaged in the collection and care of ornamental marine life from reef to aquarium. MAC brings together the aquarium industry, hobbyists, conservation organisations, government agencies, public aquariums, international organisations and others to ensure the health and sustainability of the organisms, their habitat and the marine ornamental trade. MAC certification creates market incentives that encourage and support responsible and sustainable practices by encouraging consumer demand and confidence for certified organisms, practices and industry participants. This results in reef conservation and management by requiring certified reef areas to be managed, including fish reserves, and by ensuring certified aquarium fishers use non-destructive methods. The certified marine aquarium trade also supports sustainable livelihoods, poverty alleviation and other community benefits by ensuring healthy reefs support a sustainable fishery and by ensuring fishers earn a good return and subscribe to occupational health standards. MAC launched the Certification in November 2001 with 3 Standards covering the ‘reef to retail’ supply chain: Ecosystem and Fishery Management Standard; Collection, Fishing and Holding Standard; Handling, Husbandry and Transport Standard. Collectors and exporters in the Philippines and elsewhere, and importers and retailers in the USA and Europe are being certified in late 2002. MAC has offices in Hawaii, Washington D.C., the Philippines, Solomon Islands, and Indonesia.

The goals are the longterm conservation and responsible stewardship of critical coastal marine habitats and resources, especially coral reefs and seagrasses in 8 countries in the Western Pacific: Palau; Federated States of Micronesia; the Philippines; Papua New Guinea; Solomon Islands; Fiji; and eastern Indonesia and Malaysia. The Program’s funding strategy focuses on: improving individual technical skills for effective conservation and resource management; supporting a network of site-specific marine protected areas; and developing a range of targeted, applied research and analysis initiatives to get useful information e.g. on new technologies, small business development opportunities, policy reform, into the hands of practitioners, policy-makers and local community members. Contact: www.packard.org REEF CHECK Reef Check is a university-based environmental organisation established to facilitate community monitoring and management of coral reefs on a global scale. Reef Check is active in over 60 countries and territories throughout the tropics where it seeks to: educate the public about the coral reef crisis and how to stop it; create a global network of volunteer teams which regularly monitor and report on reef health under the supervision of scientists; scientifically investigate coral reef processes; facilitate collaboration among academia, NGOs, governments and the private sector to solve coral reef problems; and 368
Sponsoring Organisations, Coral Reef Programs and Monitoring Networks stimulate community action to protect remaining pristine reefs and rehabilitate damaged reefs worldwide using ecologically sound and economically sustainable solutions. Under the ICRI framework, Reef Check is a primary GCRMN partner and presently coordinates training for the GCRMN. Training programs in ecological and socio-economic monitoring and coral reef management are regularly offered throughout the world. Contact: Kelly McGee, Institute of the Environment, Mailcode 149607, University of California at Los Angeles, CA 90095 USA; rcheck@ucla.edu, www.ReefCheck.org UNEP – UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME The mission of UNEP is to provide leadership and encourage partnerships in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations. UNEP makes a particular effort to nurture partnerships and enhance the participation of civil society – the private sector, scientific community, NGOs and youth – in working towards sustainable utilisation of natural resources. The challenge before UNEP is to implement an environmental agenda that is integrated strategically with the goals of economic development and social well-being; an agenda for sustainable development. Contacts: PO Box 30552, Nairobi Kenya; cpiino@unep.org; www.unep.org UNEP – CORAL REEF UNIT UNEP is implementing a comprehensive work program on coral reefs, aiming to prevent further degradation while involving all stakeholders and addressing their social and economic needs. Coral reef activities of the Unit are carried out through UNEP divisions, the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Center, Regional Seas Programmes, and in collaboration with multilateral environmental agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and the International Coral Reef Initiative of which UNEP has been a member since 1994. ICRI and its operational networks, in particular the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN), where UNEP is a partner, and the GCRMN, which is co-sponsored by UNEP, are at the centre of a global effort to protect coral reefs and form partnerships for sustainable development. Coral reef conservation has a firm commitment from UNEP. Contact: Agneta Nilsson, Agneta.Nilsson@unep.org UNEP – WORLD CONSERVATION MONITORING CENTRE UNEP-WCMC has a major coral reef focus, including mapping, a global database on marine protected areas, monitoring trade in corals and marine ornamentals, and the global distribution of threats, including coral disease and bleaching. The World Atlas of Coral Reefs (2001) was a major product. UNEP-WCMC maintains a as ‘marine ornamentals’ database of the global trade in live coral reef species, with the Marine Aquarium Council and members of the industry. This aims to improve understanding of the trade and measure the impacts to foster a regulated and sustainable trade operating via certification schemes. There is also a global database on marine protected areas, with 680 coral reef sites within 3600 listings. UNEP-WCMC is committed to making coral reef information accessible, through its partners (WorldFish Center, WRI, GCRMN) and the Internet.
