Introduction 1.1 What is the GCRMN? The Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) is an operational network of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) aiming to provide the best available scientific information on the status and trends of coral reef ecosystems for their conservation and management. The GCRMN is a global network of scientists, managers and organisations that monitor the condition of coral reefs throughout the world, operating through ten regional nodes. 1.2 Coral reef monitoring While coral reefs provide many ecosystem services to human populations and host immense biodiversity, they are directly or indirectly threatened by human activities. To understand what are the main drivers of coral reefs’ resilience in the Anthropocene, and to appropriately inform environmental policies that aim to protect these ecosystems, it is necessary to have data describing how coral reef integrity is changing over space and time. Such data are acquired from ecological monitoring, which consist of repetitive measurements of a specified set of ecological variables at one or mo","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/GCRMN","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/GCRMN/gcrmndb_benthos/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
