Coral reef trade publication

Report Published on Global Trade and Coral Reef Conservation

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) announces the
publication of "Global Trade and Consumer Choices: Coral Reefs in Crisis."
This report features five papers by experts on the global trade in coral
reef species and coral reef conservation.  They analyze the causes and
consequences of global trade in coral reef animals; the role of the U.S. as
both a major importer and leader in trade and conservation efforts; and
present solutions to reduce the negative impacts of trade on these unique
ecosystems while promoting long-term benefits to local communities through
sustainable resource use.  The report highlights the fact that an equitable
and sustainable response to the trade threat will require that all remedies
be pursued, engaging communities, exporters and importers, governments,
non-governmental organizations, consumers, scientists, and international
institutions.

"Global Trade and Consumer Choices: Coral Reefs in Crisis" is available on
the Worldwide Web at http://www.aaas.org/international/ssa/coralreefs
