Reef Resilience Symposium

Great Barrier Reef  |  Cairns, Australia

The most important conference on reefs in 2024

As the world races to slow global heating by reducing carbon emissions, coral reefs around the world are already struggling to cope with the rate of environmental change. Ignoring their decline is not an option. How can we best support the resilience of these ecosystems, and the communities that depend on them, in the coming decades?

Working together to meet challenges

This Symposium has enabled reef stewards of all kinds – practitioners, managers, researchers, engineers, Traditional Owners, industry leaders – to share and discuss recent events, new knowledge and innovations, and how we might work more effectively to meet current and future challenges.
