Healthyreefs

The Healthy Reefs for Healthy People Initiative is an international, multi-institutional effort that tracks the health of the Mesoamerican Reef, the human choices that shape it and our progress in ensuring its long-term integrity.
HRI seeks to address two overarching questions:
- What is a healthy reef and how can we improve our tracking of reef health through a shared vision and common indicators or "yardsticks?"
- How can we best convey consistent, scientific information to policymakers, decision-makers, and the public, such that the connections between reef health and human health result in effective conservation action at an unprecedented scale?
