The Reef Resilience Network’s (RRN) online courses have been designed to provide easy access to the latest science and strategies for managing coral reefs in a changing climate. All courses are free and self-paced. This year, RRN look forward to offering two mentored courses with online lessons available in multiple languages: the Coral Reef Restoration Online Course and the Management Effectiveness for Marine Protected Areas Online Course.
Please save the dates and keep an eye out for instructions on how to enrol in each course, which is coming soon.

The live webinars will be offered in English, and the online lessons can be taken in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish.
Management Effectiveness for MPAs

The Network is launching a new Management Effectiveness for Marine Protected Areas Online Course. The five lessons center around key steps in the management cycle and cover topics such as enabling factors that drive MPA effectiveness, critical components of success, and how assessments and best practices can be applied to local contexts. The four-week mentored course will support participants as they take the self-paced lessons and will feature a mix of theoretical and practical lessons, field applications, expert-led webinars, and support from mentors in an online discussion forum. The live webinars will be offered in English, and the online lessons can be taken in Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, English, French, and Spanish.
