The Reef World Foundation, the coordinator of the Green Fins initiative, has launched a new Coral Bleaching Toolkit.
The move comes in response to the fourth global coral bleaching event, which was confirmed in April 2024.
The toolkit provides resources and guidance for marine industry stakeholders to manage and note the impact of coral bleaching events in their area of operation. The toolkit aims to empower the industry to help manage the health of global coral reef systems.
According to Reef-World Foundation Executive Director Chloe Harvey:
“Coral reefs are under a huge amount of stress every day and that reduces their chance of recovery from bleaching events. However, this time around the scientists have been watching the data closely, so we’re prepared. We understand what it means and we know what we need to do to respond to it. This global event calls for global action to protect these vital ecosystems for generations to come.”
