2008 was a success for the International Year of the Reef. Nations or organizations around the world have joined the campaign - from international to national, from university to village children, and every level in between - to raise awareness about the value and importance of coral reefs and threats to their sustainability, and to motivate people to take action to protect them. A tremendous amount of material (in several languages) was produced, including educational DVDs, posters, books for kids and much more.
We are ready to compile the IYOR report, reflecting on our successes as well as areas for growth and improvement, and we encourage you to submit your activities undertaken to support IYOR (download the reporting template, Word document). Please submit a short write-up of your activities along with photographs at reporting@iyor.org.
Thank you
