Roughly a third of the world’s coral reefs lie in the Pacific, and are now near collapse from overfishing and climate change. Yet coastal communities can still protect their most productive marine areas—and improve their livelihoods in the process.
Chris LaFranchi has been working as a conservation economist in marine protection for more than 15 years, and in the Pacific region for the past 5 years. With his deep technical knowledge of the field, Chris started OneReef to protect endangered reefs in the Pacific.
