Reef Resilience ToolkitChoose Coral or Fish Icon to Get Started
The latest version of the Reef Resilience (R2) Toolkit is a must for managers. The two Toolkit modules, Coral Reefs and Fish Spawning Aggregations, provide coral reef managers with guidance on building resilience to climate change into the design of MPAs and daily management activities. Both modules follow the same structure, and Help is available. The Toolkit is also available on CD—for copies, please contact us.
Introduction to Resilience
What do we mean by Reef Resilience? What are the four principles of resilience? What is the difference between resilience and resistance? Get the basics in this section before exploring further. |
Case Studies
Practitioners around the globe have been working to integrate resilience principles into their reef management activities. Check out this section to find case studies and stories from the field. |
Resilience Training
The Nature Conservancy's Reef Resilience training and capacity building program includes a free online reef course, regional resilience training workshops for coral reef managers, and a training of trainers course the next one of which will be held in Southeast Asia in 2012. New! The self-paced course will soon be fully available in Bahasa, with a Spanish version coming in the next few months. |
