The South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme (SACEP) and the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) held a virtual meeting to discuss collaborative efforts in the production of the upcoming Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) report. The new report, titled "Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2025," is expected to be released in 2026 and will provide an update to the 2020 edition.
As the designated Node Coordinator for the South Asia Region, SACEP's role is pivotal in ensuring accurate and comprehensive data collection for this crucial report. The meeting focused on exploring the possibilities for SACEP to facilitate the data collation process in the region, aiming to provide a detailed and up-to-date assessment of coral reef health.
