Collaborating with the Global Coral Community
The International Coral Reef Symposium is an excellent opportunity for the global coral reef community to come together and share experiences, research, solutions, and traditional knowledge with the shared goal of protecting coral reefs and safeguarding their future.
As part of our joint venture with Research Planning, Inc., our coral reef ecologists supporting the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program and NOAA Centers for Coastal Ocean Science attended the 2026 International Coral Reef Symposium in Auckland, New Zealand. Our team had the opportunity to network with global colleagues and collaborate on issues affecting coral reefs around the world.
In addition, staff presented on several projects. Below is a list of the presentations they delivered.
- Life-history Strategies of Corals: Evidence from Population Trends and Demographic Rates
- Endangered, Threatened, and Stressed Out: What the U.S. National Coral Reef Monitoring Program Reveals about ESA-Listed Caribbean Coral Populations
- More Than Just Counting Corals: What the U.S. National Coral Reef Monitoring Program Can Tell Atlantic Reef Managers About Benthic Community Status and Trends
- More than Decade of Rapid Coral Community Change on U.S. Atlantic Reefs: What the U.S. National Coral Reef Monitoring Program Can Tell Atlantic Reef Managers About Benthic Community Status and Trends
