Reef Check Declaration
Added to website: 12 March 2007
Ten years ago 1997 was declared the International Year of the Reef (IYOR). This was in response to the increasing threats and loss of coral reefs and associated ecosystems, such as mangroves and sea grasses. IYOR was a global effort to increase awareness and understanding about coral reefs, and support related conservation, research and management efforts.
In honor of the International Year of the Reef in 2008, Reef Check is requesting you to sign Declaration of Reef Rights. The purpose of this pledge is to highlight the high value of coral reefs and to encourage all people and governments to support coral reef conservation.
