1. “Coral Reef Targeted Research and Capacity Building for Management” GEF/WB TR Project in support of Science-based Management and Policy

2. Project Components 1.Addressing Knowledge and Technology Gaps -- Five Working Groups (BWG, CWG, DWG, RRWG, RSWG) 2.Promoting Scientific Learning and Capacity Building --Four Centers of Excellence 3. Linking Scientific Knowledge to Management & Policy -- Synthesis Panel to oversee quality and direction of research, integrate and interpret results -- Modeling and Decision Support WG 4. Project Administration —University of Queensland --in partnership with UNESCO/IOC

9. Development of researchers within each region Outreach and interactions between WGs Engage local, national and regional Decision-makers with findings and their application to management and policy Centers of Excellence Targeted exchanges and collaborative research between working groups and regional scientists Build Capacity within each Region

10. Support for local research priorities that will be discussed & coordinated with one or more WGs Support for Ongoing Outreach at the COE and within the surrounding community Support for some Equipment & Supplies [ e.g. in the cases of Bolinao & Zanzibar - support for improved Internet throughput] Areas of Support & Responsibilities for each COE Focal Point (with assistance) to help coordinate Working Group visitations to the COE Symposia in years 2 & 5 expressly for communicating with the Management Community in each Region
