This is what we do - #redlist to inform decisions. This study sets the stage to assess all #coralreef #ecosystems globally using data from the #GCRMN #globalreport, while we also finish the global #coral species redlist this coming year. @redlisteco @IUCNRedList @ICRI_Coral_Reef

The #RedList of #ecosystems shows how close an ecosystem is to #collapse, providing a standardized warning system to reverse decline before its too late. The #RLE of Western #IndianOcean #coralreefs is coming out 6 Dec in @naturesustainab. What state are they in? @cordioea
