e are delighted to kick off the first quarter of 2012 with this special annual From the Wreport edition of CORAL Current. This new, versatile format allows us to share our 2011 accomplishments in a more timely manner and saves resources. By combining our annual report and winter newsletter, we are reducing Executive our environmental footprint and directing even more funding to the critical conservation work underway in our project sites. We hope you enjoy it! Director and This special report shares stories of progress and transformation from this past year. You will learn how CORAL is boosting the health of ecosystems and the communities that depend on them through the Coral Reef Sustainable Board Chair Destination approach: fostering conservation alliances, developing sustainable financing, implementing effective management, reducing local reef threats, creating community benefits, and promoting environmentally-friendly business practices. You will also see how CORAL’s team of experts and trained volunteers engage and nurture community leadership to bring about positive change for coral reefs. Overall, 2011 was an important year for CORAL, with the introduction of new Michael Webster, initiatives like our global reef resilience program, shark sanctuary work, and Executive Director Coral Reef CSI. This year is shaping up to be just as promising. We are refining our field programs to be even more strategic and measurable, exploring new ways to align social and economic incentives with reef health, and expanding our regional presence and impact in the countries where we work. We recognize that none of our critical work would be possible without the H. William Jessie, Jr., generosity of donors like you. So, thank you for being an integral part of our Board Chair community. Together we are making a lasting difference for the future of coral reefs and the communities that depend on them.

Over the last year, CORAL has had the opportunity to lead several important 2011 projects that supplement our ongoing Coral Reef Sustainable Destination (CRSD) work. These exciting SPECIAL initiatives expand our reach both PROJECTS programmatically and geographically.

SHARK f you think sharks are scary, try imagining a world without them—it’s much scarier! Sharks help to regulate Icoral reef ecosystems and maintain their high biodiversity. Losing them can have unintended and far SANCTUARIES reaching responses that ultimately end in degraded, algae-dominated reefs. Unfortunately, this scary scenario is becoming a reality. Intense commercial fishing, driven largely by the lucrative market for shark fins, has caused a drastic decline in shark populations—and coral reef health—worldwide. In response, CORAL launched two campaigns in 2011 to protect sharks in the Indo- Pacific. These campaigns are helping sharks now, and also cementing alliances that will help to protect reefs far into the future. CORAL is working with the Pew Environment Group and the Fijian Ministry of Fisheries to advance legislation for a Fijian National Shark Sanctuary. Legal protection for sharks will need support from Fijians across the nation to be effective, so we have spent the past year securing endorsements from traditional leaders and developing wide-reaching media and education campaigns. We are also bringing communities together to protect sharks in Indonesia’s Raja Ampat archipelago, where the unmonitored harvest of sharks is a pervasive concern because of the area’s remoteness. With support from the Save Our Seas Foundation, CORAL has been building awareness about the problem through a multi-faceted outreach campaign. We have developed informative outreach materials, trained village teachers to educate their students about the importance of sharks and coral reefs, and begun working directly with Indonesia’s youth to encourage the next generation of shark stewards.

hile developing environmentally-friendly laws is an important part of coral reef conservation, these CORAL REEF CSI Wlaws are only effective when they are observed and adequately enforced. But when crimes take place beneath the waves, evidence collection and prosecution becomes particularly challenging. As the new home of the Coral Reef CSI program, CORAL is putting some teeth into the laws that protect coral reefs. This innovative program gives participants—now numbering over 350—the neces- sary skills and tools to gather courtroom-worthy underwater evidence that will maximize the success of prosecution, negotiation, and mitigation. The rigorous weeklong Coral Reef CSI workshops provide practical, hands-on training in forensic techniques applicable to vessel groundings, destructive fishing, illegal extraction, and other human impacts that threaten coral reefs. Since Coral Reef CSI joined CORAL in February 2011, its scope has expanded to include a new workshop module that addresses the illegal marine wildlife trade, which we piloted at a workshop in Thailand. Modules on marine aquatic contaminants and sea turtle field forensics are also in the works. Expanding law enforcement through the Coral Reef CSI program is an exciting opportunity for bolster- Photo courtesy of Dave Gulko ing our efforts to reduce threats to coral reefs around the world.

REEF RESILIENCE s a small organization with a big mission, CORAL is adept at magnifying the impact of our work. The Areef resilience to climate change program we launched in 2011 is a prime example—we have now TRAININGS trained coral reef conservation leaders from around the world to become reef resilience trainers them- selves, replicating our workshop for colleagues in their home countries. Our “train-the-trainers” program is quickly building a global network of professionals who understand how to bolster reef resilience to climate change. Moreover, we are empowering participants to turn their knowledge into conservation action by providing microgrants for local projects that incorporate the training material. After our first successful training of reef managers from the Indo-Pacific and regions, CORAL broke new ground for our training in the Caribbean when we targeted marine recreation providers. Since these professionals visit the reefs daily, they are more likely to detect subtle changes and can serve as important sentinels for climate change on reef systems. Our training ensures that they know how to recognize changes from climate change, such as bleaching or brightening of coral, and then communicate this information to managers who can quickly respond.
