Coral reefs are classified by estimated present threat from coastal development, which threatens approximately 25 percent of reefs globally. (Reef at Risk Revisited Report)
“Under the Reefs at Risk Revisited project, WRI and its partners have developed a new, detailed assessment of the status of and threats to the world’s coral reefs. This information is intended to raise awareness about the location and severity of threats to coral reefs. These results can also catalyze opportunities for changes in policy and practice that could safeguard coral reefs and the benefits they provide to people for future generations.”
