Celebrating the International Year of the Reef for 2018

February 21, 2018 - International Coral Reef Initiative

Scubareefing celebrates this third year of the reef and encourages people to educate themselves about the coral reef ecosystem through SCUBA diving.

The International Coral Reef Initiative hopes to:

• strengthen awareness globally about the value of, and threats to, coral reefs and associated ecosystems;
• promote partnerships between governments, the private sector, academia and civil society on the management of coral reefs;
• identify and implement effective management strategies for conservation, increased resiliency and sustainable use of these ecosystems and promoting best practices; and
• share information on best practices in relation to sustainable coral reef management.

In conjunction with the third International Year of the Reef, high quality coral reef images have been made available to the public for free.
