singapore celebrates the reefs
IYOR 2008


This year is the International Year of the Reef, that was celebrated worldwide to raise the awareness about the importance of coral reefs and threats that is present, and to motivate people to protect them.

IYOR was first started 10 years ago in 1997 and IYOR was back a decade later! Singapore will be celebrating IYOR with 50 countries around the world to celebrate our reefs! All the reef-loving groups in Singapore have come together to celebrate the amazing coral reefs we have in Singapore.

The purpose of IYOR is to:
· raise awareness about the ecological, economic, social and cultural value of coral reefs and associated ecosystems. Also to
· improve the understanding of the critical threats to coral reefs and generate both practical and innovative solutions to reduce these threats, and to
· carry out urgent action at all levels to carry out effective management strategies for conservation and sustainable use of these ecosystems
