ABSTRACT
The 2002 report on the status of the world’s coral reefs is a mix of
bad news and good news, but there is strong evidence that the corner
is being turned in our ability to stop reef decline, provided this
continues to be supported by sufficient political will. We can predict
gains in coral reef health at specific sites in many regions within
the coming 2 decades. Many different projects are reducing the
damaging human impacts on coral reefs and also setting more reefs
aside for protection. Unfortunately, a large proportion of the world’s
reefs are outside protected areas, and much effort will be needed to
replicate the small-scale successes at national and regional scales.
In addition, many coral reef countries do not have national coral reef
programs or monitoring plans, and are often unaware of the extent of
damage to their reefs.
