The International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) is a global partnership between nations and organisations that strives to preserve coral reefs and related ecosystems around the world. Founded in 1994 by Australia, France, Japan, Jamaica, the Philippines, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, ICRI has grown to a network of over 90 members, including 45 countries that are custodians of over 75% of the world’s coral reefs. ICRI plays a vital role in bringing together those dedicated to the conservation, management, and restoration of coral reefs worldwide: informing international efforts to conserve reefs and associated ecosystems, providing both a forum for global advocacy on coral reefs and assisting managers of coral reefs at the national and local levels. The initiative is currently chaired by the United States of America and implementing the 2021 - 2024 Plan of Action, Turning the Tide for Coral Reefs - outlining the initiative's critical actions for coral reefs and associated ecosystems. The ICRI Secretariat is currently being hosted by Blue Pangolin Consulting acting as the designated administrative representative (DAR): www.blue-pangolin.net. ICRI is the co-chair of the Advisory Board of the Global Fund for Coral Reefs (GFCR) and is an advisory member of the Initiative Governing Committee of the Coral Research & Development Accelerator Platform (CORDAP). ICRI is an official supporting partner of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and has been an official nominator of the Earthshot Prize since 2021.
