This is the 9th status report since the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) was founded in 1995 as the data arm of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) to document the ecological condition of coral reefs, strengthen monitoring efforts, and link existing organizations and people working on reefs worldwide.

This report provides an overview of the overall status and trends and detailed analyses of the factors responsible for the decline of coral reefs throughout the entire wider Caribbean region.
