International Coral Reef Initiative

The International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) is a global partnership launched in 1994 that brings together governments, organizations, and experts to protect and sustainably manage coral reefs. Coral reefs are vital ecosystems supporting marine life, coastal protection, and local economies. ICRI promotes policies, research, and actions to reduce threats like pollution, overfishing, and climate change, ensuring reefs can thrive for future generations. It operates through collaborative efforts, raising awareness and sharing knowledge to preserve these valuable natural resources worldwide.
