Status and Trends of Caribbean Coral Reefs: 1970-2012

It has been a long time coming, but it’s finally here! The all-awaited GCRMN report Status and Trends of Caribbean Coral Reefs: 1970-2012 led by Jeremy Jackson is getting officially launched today. The findings of the report clearly show that we can still save Caribbean reefs if we take action to protect parrotfish and similar grazers. <http://t.ymlp338.net/bhjanaubbuqaoaeujaxajmj/click.php>

Managers and decision-makers can make this happen!  The (former) ICRI Secretariat has sponsored the making of a video to illustrate the main findings of the report and promote the Call to Action 2013: <http://t.ymlp338.net/bhbavaubbuqaoaeujapajmj/click.php> It features Jeremy and his wife Nancy Knowlton telling a sweet but bitter story about reefs in the Caribbean which should encourage viewers to access the report, find out more about the work of ICRI and take action!

 The press release, as well as the full report and its executive summary are available at www.icriforum.org/caribbeanreport
