With our partners, we are working around the clock to find and map all of these special reefs—what we’re calling high integrity climate-resilient coral reefs (HICOR).

We will be advocating for them at the upcoming #CITESCoP20. Devil rays are among the group of sharks and rays up for stronger protections.
