A new report on Coral Reef Restoration launched today kickstarts the launch of the United Nations Decade of Ecosystem Restoration and of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. The report was launched via a webinar …
The third global coral bleaching event, which started in 2014 and extended well into 2017, was the longest coral bleaching event on record. The length of the event means corals in some parts of the world had no time to recover in 2014, 2015 or 2016…
Seagrass meadows are important marine ecosystems, providing a range of services including carbon sequestration, nursery habitats for fish and coastal protection. They are suffering rapid global decline in the face of eutrophication and other…
Seagrasses are an important part of many coastal ecosystems worldwide. They are flowering plants, or angiosperms, and grow as ‘meadows’ in subtidal and intertidal zones in tropical, subtropical and temperate seas. They provide many ecosystem…
This report summarises the findings of an initial scoping study which aimed to identify common interests, facilitate global and regional collaborations, and help identify opportunities for co-investment in research and development. This study is a…
This analysis identifies at least four potential pathways by which international policy responses can help coral reef states address local drivers of reef loss and enhance coral reef resilience (and potential for survival) in the face of climate…
This report provides the supporting science for the UNEP Science-to-Policy brief (2017). It synthesizes the current science on wastewater pollution and coral reefs to inform decision-making and policy globally. This synthesis will support decision-…
The overall purpose of this brief is to provide policy and management recommendations for addressing and reducing the impacts of plastics on shallow water coral reefs, based on current scientific knowledge. In doing so, the brief will contribute to…
This dataset shows the global distribution of seagrasses, and is composed of two subsets of point and polygon occurence data. The data were compiled by UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre in collaboration with many collaborators (e.g.…
This study presents new analysis of the value, costs and benefits of the coral reef economy to highlight that shifting the trajectory of coral reef health from one of continuing decline towards a healthy state could unlock tens of billions of…
