One is coordinated by the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute with support from the Regional Coordinating Unit of the Caribbean Environment Programme of UNEP, and covers the OECS states, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados. During the first year, activities have included an assessment of the capacity for reef monitoring in 8 countries, a regional workshop in St. Lucia on recent developments in monitoring methods, a series of national training activities and technical assistance focusing on the Reef Check monitoring protocol.

18. STATUS OF CORAL REEFS IN SOUTHERN TROPICAL AMERICA: BRAZIL, COLOMBIA, COSTA RICA, PANAMA AND VENEZUELA JAIME GARZÓN-FERREIRA, JORGE CORTÉS, ALDO CROQUER, HÉCTOR GUZMÁN, ZELINDA LEAO AND ALBERTO RODRÍGUEZ-RAMÍREZ ABSTRACT Five countries have joined a recently created Node of the GCRMN for Southern Tropical America (STA), covering coral reef areas of the Eastern Pacific and the Western Atlantic. Coral reefs in this region are not extensive because of a strong continental influence, but they support important biodiversity reservoirs and an expanding tourism industry. Most coral reefs in STA have undergone major changes in the last 30 years, in particular during the 1980s, due to natural and anthropogenic agents. There have been important losses of live coral cover in many reef areas and transitions to algal dominated reefs. Nevertheless, considerable levels of coral cover can still be found at numerous locations on the Caribbean (means between 20-40%) and Pacific (means above 40%) coasts. Bleaching events appear to have increased in frequency, but decreased in severity, throughout the 1990s, which could be related to the global warming phenomenon. The 1997-98 strong ENSO event in the Pacific generated only moderate bleaching and low coral mortality 331
