Centers of Excellence: Bridging Global Research and Local Management

Four regional Centers of Excellence are associated with the Coral Reef Targeted Research & Capacity Building for Management (CRTR) Program, reflecting the distribution of coral reefs throughout the world.

The Centers of Excellence aim to build scientific capacity necessary to provide the information needed for management and policy, so that coral reef ecosystems, under threat from climate change and multiple human stressors, can be sustained for current and future generations.

Partnerships have been formed to enable the Centers of Excellence to serve as a convening location for each of the CRTR Program Working Groups. This ensures research can be discussed and implemented with regional and local scientists, managers, NGOs and stakeholders in a collaborative spirit.
