Preferred term
GCRMN
Definition
- The GCRMN aims to improve management and sustainable conservation of coral reefs for people by assessing the status and trends in the reefs and how people use and value the resources. It will do this by providing many people with the capacity to assess their own resources, within a global network, and to spread the word on reef status and trends. In summary, the core objectives are: To link existing organizations and people to monitor biophysical and social, cultural and economic aspects of coral reefs within interacting regional networks. To strengthen the existing capacity to examine reefs by providing a consistent monitoring program, that will identify Trends in coral reefs and discriminate between natural, anthropogenic, and climatic changes. To disseminate results at local, regional, and global scales by providing annual reports on coral reef status and trends to assist environmental management agencies implement sustainable use and conservation of reefs. Data will also aid preparation of predictive global climate change models for the GOOS Coastal Zone Module.
