Coral Reefs are one of the most complex and poorly understood of ecosystems. Around the world coral reefs are facing increased pressures and in many places they are showing signs of significant degradation. Scientific research on coral reefs is central to the understanding, management and ultimately the protection of these unique systems.

The Australian Coral Reef Society (ACRS) plays a key role by promoting scientific research on Australian coral reefs. It is a forum for discussion and information transfer among scientists, management agencies and reef-based industries that are committed to ecological sustainability.

Because it is not aligned to any vested interests, the Society's views are sought by government policy makers, conservationists and all those interested in coral reefs who need impartial and expert advice. The Society invests in the future by providing financial assistance for Australian post-graduate students.
