Join the MIIS community Tuesday, November 5th to learn about scaling up coral reef conservation efforts in Micronesia. Guest speaker Chris LaFranchi is the director of OneReef, a Santa Cruz-based organization connecting local Micronesian communities with coral reef investors to reverse coral reef decline across the region. Over 500 million people directly depend on healthy reefs, and OneReef brings together diverse stakeholders in the Pacific Island region to address over-fishing, pollution, climate change, and reef degradation. Read a recent Bloomberg piece on OneReef’s work in Palau.
