Corals, Coasts and One Health is focused on addressing the urgent challenges facing coral reefs and connected coastal ecosystems. The conference program will bridge scales and disciplines, linking microbial ecology, ecosystem dynamics, and the broader societal and policy contexts of factors shaping reef health today. It will feature in-depth discussions on:
- Updates in understanding of the coral holobiont and drivers of reef decline.
- Connections between coral reefs, coasts, and the ecosystem services they provide.
- Developments in monitoring and projecting ecosystem responses to global change.
- Advances in restoration strategies that promote coral reef ecosystem resilience.
- The latest ideas in marine conservation and governance.
Taking a One Health perspective, this conference will emphasize the links between coral ecosystem health, human well-being, and global change. Participants will engage with experts working to sustain coral reef and coastal ecosystems through science, conservation, and governance. Join us in Saudi Arabia to connect with the global scientific community advancing knowledge and solutions to secure the future of coral reefs.
