Dear Corallist,

Celebrate with us the first day of our free virtual coral reef conference Global Coral Reef Week.

Our core mission was to create an event with low CO2 emissions and high access to science and we are excited to kick off the first Global Coral Reef Week with you today! Below you find the links to our 10 youtube channels with more than 100 research talks as well as to the live plenaries, live talk sessions and networking events. We encourage you to carve out some time in the next two weeks to watch the talks and participate in the workshops that interest you. If you have questions for the presenters after watching the talks or want to connect with them, you can ask them in the comment section below the video.

9th July 1-2 PM EST Cayo Arca/Campeche Reef
Cayo Arcas is a complex reef system of high ecological and economic relevance in south Gulf of
Mexico, located in a very biologically productive zone at east Campeche Bay. The system is
occupied by several species of economic and ecological interest, where regional and international
relevant extractive activities occur. A particularity of this system is that it harbors the most
important oil sales-point in Mexico, and provoking significant industrial activity in this region. This
context represents a challenge for harmonizing extractive activities and ecological management in
this socioecosystem, while sustaining its ecological integrity and coexisting with human activities.
