Capacity building in coral reef science is a particular focus of the CRTR’s Southeast Asian CoE. It is anticipated that 12 scholars will graduate with a Masters degree or PhD in the first five years of the program, the highest number from any CoE. Through a strong culture of mentoring and educating its scholars to understand socio-economic and policy factors, as well as science, the CoE is producing a new generation of people passionate about coral reefs who are set to make a tremendous contribution in their chosen fields. Hear a word from the Chair, Emeritus Professor Ed Gomez.
