Title
Reefs for the Future: Assuring the Future of Resilient Coral Reefs and Communities. Final Report to the Tiffany & Co. Foundation
Author(s)

Abstract
Although coral reefs occupy less than 1% of the ocean, they are home to at least a quarter of all marine life, and they support the livelihoods, nutrition, and well-being of hundreds of millions of people, including some of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable communities. With support from The Tiffany & Co. Foundation, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has worked closely with local communities and key stakeholders to address major threats to reefs, guided by the following strategies: 1) Expand marine protected area (MPA) coverage and enhance MPA management, 2) Stop destructive and unsustainable fishing activities, and 3) Reduce land-based impacts and development. Our goals are to reduce threats to coral ecosystems, build local leadership, and strengthen science-based management in order to ensure long-term, lasting protection of coral reefs in the face of climate change.
