Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) and H.R.H. Prince Edward, Earl ofWessex, Announce the Launch of the ‘Coral Reef Conservancy’Global initiative focused on preserving and rejuvenating the world’s coralreefs through education, research and actionNEW YORK, June 11 /PRNewswire/ — The Central Caribbean Marine Institute(CCMI) today formally announced the launch of the “Coral Reef Conservancy” atan event attended by His Royal Highness Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and theHonorable Leader of Government Business (Premier Designate), Mr. McKeeva Bush,at Macaulay Honors College in Manhattan.(Photo: http:// )A global initiative, slated to begin this summer, The Coral Reef Conservancyis focused on preserving and rejuvenating the world’s coral reefs througheducation, research and action.Dr. Carrie Manfrino, President of the Central Caribbean Marine Institute,sounded a clarion on behalf of this precious global resource.”Sixty-percent of coral reefs on earth are dead or in decline,” said Manfrino.”Yet the many environmental, economic and health benefits these reefs provideare essential to mankind’s survival.

Coral reefs are one of the mostbiologically diverse environments on Earth, second only to rainforests. If weact now, we can recover and conserve the world’s reefs, and continue to pursueinvaluable scientific research while preserving economies, food supplies, andour vast, vital world oceans.”By raising public consciousness through a message of hope, the CRC willincrease interest in reef recovery, and eventually help implement provensolutions for reef recovery around the globe.”I am delighted to continue my support for Dr. Manfrino’s efforts and I amvery appreciative of CCMI’s accomplishments over the past five years,” saidMinister Bush. “We are proud to have Cayman once again serve as a globalleader in marine preservation and conservation. We have always understood thevalue of preserving our coral reefs, considering how our lives, culture,heritage and now tourism are inextricably linked to the sea. My governmentwill continue to support a dynamic balance of sustainable development.”Over the next three years, the CRC will develop a network of “demonstrationsites” with global partners to engage stakeholders in actions that willregenerate and build resiliency into coral reefs. The CRC will work to raisepublic awareness, while at the same time coordinating workshops from whichinternational scientists, reef managers and stakeholders can communicate theirefforts globally.About Central Caribbean Marine InstituteFounded in 1998, the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) is guided byits mission to conduct and facilitate research, education, conservation andoutreach that will sustain marine diversity for future generations.

From itsinception, CCMI has proven a valuable asset in the effort to understandchanging coral reef and tropical marine environments. CCMI programs provide asolid foundation for education and awareness for students and researchers bothin the Caribbean and around the world.Dr. Carrie Manfrino, PresidentCentral Caribbean Marine Institute609.933.4559SOURCECentral Caribbean Marine InstituteDr. Carrie Manfrino, President of Central Caribbean Marine Institute,+1-609-933-4559.
