2017 ANNUAL REPORT Hope. That is something we all need amidst the challenges we their inner workings while linking more closely with coastal face due to climate change. Our coral reefs have a level of communities to heighten the engagement of those most Dr. John Anner sensitivity that makes them particularly vulnerable to many impacted by these changes. And we are already starting to anthropogenic changes and yet we are finding that corals have see a difference. In Honduras, for example, action by local a resilience and tenacity that can provide hope in unexpected communities is leading to greater biomass of fish, cleaner and inspiring ways. I am very optimistic that we can turn the water from managed watersheds and well-monitored marine tide of declining reefs if we align our efforts and all of us get parks that keep out illegal fishing. I’m especially impressed involved today. with the dedicated individuals who are making it their life’s work to ensure the reefs closest to their families are healthy While we don’t have a lot of time, we have the tools through and prosperous for future generations. science, partnerships and community to make an impact. At CORAL, our approach focuses on the creation of Adaptive I’ve spent most of my career working with and running Reefscapes: networks of coral reefs that can regenerate and organizations that rapidly adapt to changing conditions, adapt if we create enough of the right conditions. Our strategic whether it is large market swings, rapid growth or new vision is to expand our Adaptive Reefscape work from four strategic challenges. CORAL is at the forefront of some very reefscapes (Mesoamerican Reef, Fiji, Hawaiʻi and Indonesia) exciting challenges and the need to expand our efforts will to 10 in just a few short years. Our ability to scale and grow be critical over the next several years. I hope you will join us quickly will have a direct impact on our collective ability to save in this important journey and I deeply appreciate your support the reefs that are struggling around the world. Fortunately, we for CORAL. have a talented staff of leaders ready to dive in. Gratefully, We know we can’t save coral reefs alone so we are building stronger and larger alliances globally to engage partners and individuals to support this work. At the same time, we are deepening our knowledge base by continuing to work with world-class scientists to better understand corals and Kris Billeter, Board Chair A Way Forward. In 2016, I did my first dive to Molokini Crater off the coast Report, we share some of our recent scientific results about of Maui. Sadly, the skeletons of dead cauliflower corals were how to design Adaptive Reefscapes and illustrate how we are everywhere, with an occasional survivor to break up the brown working with our partners to create an Adaptive Reefscape seascape with vibrant purple or caramel colored colonies. demonstration site in the Mesoamerican Region. Many of these corals died in 2015, when Hawaiian waters As a next step, we at CORAL are organizing much of our work got particularly hot, triggering widespread coral bleaching. into three initiatives that ensure that reefs have clean water, I went back to Molokini a few months ago and was delighted healthy fisheries and are part of intact ecosystems, making to see that an important change was already underway. If you them better able to recover from stresses like warming waters, looked carefully amidst the dead corals, you could find baby just as we are seeing at Molokini. Our initiatives are designed coral colonies that were about the size of a quarter. These to be replicable, whereby solutions that work in one place can small corals are the offspring of corals that survived coral when be applied in many others, and we are sharing these solutions the water got hot, so there’s a good chance that they inherited with communities and organizations around the world. some of their parent’s ability to withstand coral bleaching. As you will see in this year’s Annual Report, the best available In other words, with the arrival of these new baby corals, science tells us that there’s still time to save coral reefs. We are Molokini’s reefs may be adapting to a changing environment. looking forward to partnering with you in the year to come to At CORAL, our goal is to save coral reefs around the world. ensure coral reefs, and the people who depend on them, not Coral reefs are changing very quickly due to climate change only adapt but prosper in a changing world. and local threats. For reefs to survive, the corals themselves Thank you for your continued support, will have to adapt to these changing conditions. But what do we need to do to help corals adapt? To answer this question, we are pioneering new kinds of science and the answer is clear: corals will have a better chance of adapting if communities protect a diverse, connected and large network of reefs, which we call an Adaptive Reefscape. In this Annual Dr. Michael Webster, Executive Director Coral reefs are in crisis
In addition to local-level threats, such as overfishing and pollution, coral reefs now face global-level threats like warming oceans, which can cause coral bleaching. When these threats combine, it severely compromises the ability of corals to grow, reproduce and thrive. Today, a startling 75 percent of our coral reefs are threatened, and one-third of all reef-building corals are considered at risk of extinction.
OUR SOLUTION: ADAPTIVE REEFSCAPES Our accomplishments CORAL has launched a new era of reef conservation for a changing world with Adaptive Reefscapes – networks of healthy reefs that are In 2017, we continued developing able to adapt to climate change because they are diverse, connected and large. our Adaptive Reefscapes demonstration sites in Fiji, What makes a healthy reef?

Making Adaptive Reefscapes a Reality
CORAL’s Adaptive Reefscape approach is currently active in the Mesoamerican Region, Fiji, Indonesia and Caribbean islands. Our Adaptive Reefscapes blueprint is designed to be replicable and scalable, using the following steps: REEFSCAPES IN ACTION 1. Develop a Regional Plan that draws on cutting-edge science, builds on existing SPOTLIGHT: How we are applying our innovative Adaptive Reefscapes approach in the Mesoamerican Region efforts and unites stakeholders CORAL’s vision is for 35 percent of the MAR’s coral reefs to be included in a Mesoamerican Adaptive Reefscape that extends around a concerted effort to from Mexico to Honduras.
