ICRI Key Documents

The work and functioning of ICRI are underpinned by several foundational documents. ICRI’s ‘Call to Action’ was crafted at the inaugural ICRI meeting in 1995 and embodies the origins of ICRI, setting out four pillars on which action to protect and manage coral reefs can be based. The Call was accompanied by a ‘Framework for Action’ which identified mechanisms by which the Call could be implemented. The Call to Action was renewed in 1998. ICRI has also adopted some light ‘rules’ set out in its Organisational and Management Procedures.
