Reefs in the Indo-Pacific region, like this reef in Australia, have greater coral species diversity than their counterparts in the Atlantic/Caribbean. Photo credit: Dave Burdick Conserving the nation's coral reefs cannot be accomplished by domestic efforts alone. Our coral reefs are ecologically connected to those abroad. Additionally, the most significant threats they face—climate change and ocean acidification—are global in nature. Effectively conserving coral reefs and the services they provide depends upon sound ecosystem-based management practices and good governance—from local communities to multinational regions. Together with our partners, we work in more than 40 countries and multilateral regions globally, with particular focus in the Coral Triangle, Micronesia, the South Pacific, and the wider Caribbean
