SUMMARY:Let’s Be Nice to Coral Reefs
DESCRIPTION:Coral reefs are incredibly rich ecosystems\, hosting over 4\,000 species of marine life\, despite covering only 1% of the ocean’s surface. They are essential for at least 25% of all marine species\, with many yet to be discovered. \nBeyond their biodiversity\, coral reefs play a crucial role in sustaining coastal communities by providing food and acting as natural barriers. \nThis event brings together experts and civil society advocates to explore pathways to effective protection and conservation solutions for coral reefs\, in the context of the upcoming UNOC 2025 in Nice. The session will feature three concise and engaging segments: \nCoral Reefs: Guardians of Marine Biodiversity and Coastal Protection\nAn overview of why being Nice to coral reefs is crucial for marine biodiversity and for the survival of millions of people. Segment will delve into global frameworks supporting their conservation. \n\n\n\n\nJustice for Coral Reefs: Enforcing Protection Against Plastic Proliferation\nFeaturing the issue of plastic proliferation and its direct impact on reef health\, with a discussion on how legal frameworks and enforcement can curb damaging activities. \nBottom Trawling’s Lasting Destruction of Coral Reefs\nSegment will highlight the devastating impact of bottom trawling on coral habitats\, offering insights into policy interventions and sustainable alternatives. \nLead Organsiation: Let’s be Nice to the Ocean \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF)
