International Coral Reef Initiative

The International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) is an informal partnership among nations, international organisations and non-government organisations to help protect coral reefs globally. It aims to implement Chapter 17 of Agenda 21, Aichi Target 10 of the Convention on Biological Diversity's 10-year Strategic Plan, and other relevant internationally agreed objectives and targets. It does so by:

  • raising global awareness on the plight of coral reefs around the world
  • promoting the sharing of best practices in coral reef management and building capacity of coral reef managers around the world
  • ensuring that coral reefs are included in relevant international deliberations.

It is the "only global entity solely devoted to coral reefs".
