Abstract

Coral reefs are important ecosystems, especially in regions like the Western and South-Western Pacific, where they play vital roles in food provision, resource production and coastal protection. They are, however, under severe pressure from human and climate change. The importance of reefs is recognised globally, and substantial research efforts are being made to improve our understanding of the chemical, ecological, geological and physical processes occurring in and around reefs. This research will, in turn, provide information essential for the improved and more sustainable management of reefs. Success in such research often requires multidisciplinary/multinational teams. One such grouping was the Coral Reefs under Climate and Anthropogenic Perturbations (CorReCAP) Project established through the UNESCO-IOC-WESTPAC office in 2008. This monograph presents the outcomes of the CorReCAP Project, and this chapter outlines the aims, objectives and activities of the project.
