This project seeks to improve coastal resource management and coral reef protection by providing comprehensive information on land-based sources of threat to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.
Raising awareness about human pressure on coral reefs in Southeast Asia and providing specific information and tools to manage coastal habitats more effectively.
Improving coastal resource management and coral reef protection by providing comprehensive information on threats to coral reefs, the value of goods and services provided by these ecosystems, and economic losses that will result from their degradation.
Documenting—in easy-to-understand terms—how global fishing trends are affecting global fish stocks and fishers, and how consumer choices can make a difference.

This analysis quantifies and maps the origins of sediment and nutrient runoff that threatens the Mesoamerican Reef. With it, WRI seeks to inform land-use planning, agriculture, conservation and threat mitigation efforts.
Fisheries management often focuses on individual fish stocks. Yet, health of fish stocks depends on the health of the marine ecosystem. One important element in the health of the marine ecosystem is the number and variety of species in a given area.
