Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network
The Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) is an international organization that tracks the health of coral reefs worldwide. It collects and shares data on reef conditions, such as coral cover, diversity, and threats like climate change and pollution. This information helps scientists, policymakers, and conservationists understand trends, identify risks, and develop strategies to protect these vital ecosystems. Coral reefs support marine life, protect coastlines, and benefit local communities, making their monitoring essential for sustainable management and preservation efforts globally.
