The International Coral Reef Society (ICRS) plays a pivotal role in advancing the goals of the UN Ocean Decade by providing crucial funding and support for research and professional development particularly for early-career ocean professionals working on coral reefs.

This support is especially impactful for individuals from developing countries and island nations, where coral reefs are most abundant. ICRS offers grants for early-career scientists’ fieldwork and lab visits and promotes capacity building through initiatives like the Science Communication Fellowship, enhancing members’ communication skills. Student Travel Grants enable attendance at International Coral Reef Symposia, fostering global collaboration. Furthermore, ICRS has specific grants to support scientists, reef managers, and policymakers from developing countries. These efforts ensure a diverse, skilled workforce ready to tackle coral reef challenges, aligning with the UN Ocean Decade’s objectives.
