This is the report for the Reefs at Risk Revisited analysis. Reefs at Risk Revisited is a high-resolution update of the original global analysis, Reefs at Risk: A Map-Based Indicator of Threats to the World’s Coral Reefs. Reefs at Risk Revisited uses a global map of coral reefs at 500-m resolution, which is 64 times more detailed than the 4-km resolution map used in the 1998 analysis, and benefits from improvements in many global data sets used to evaluate threats to reefs (most threat data are at 1 km resolution, which is 16 times more detailed than those used in the 1998 analysis).

The pilot fragility assessment in South Tarawa, Kiribati is part of the regional technical assistance Supporting ADB’s Engagement in Fragile Situations.
The purpose of the PLA (Participatory Learning and Action) was mainly to exchange information at the community level and discuss issues and potential low cost solutions to address root causes of waste issues.

The lower parasitism at Kiritimati may result from a simplified food web due to over fishing.
This study surveyed coral reefs on uninhabited atolls in the northern Line Islands to provide a baseline of reef community structure, and on increasingly populated atolls to document changes associated with human activities.
This paper is dedicated to the current and past generations of people who have lived on Kiritimati Atoll and who depend on the conservation, sustainable use and enrichment of their life-giving plants and animals and their local knowledge, as a basis for their continued habitation of this unique and beautiful but challenging island environment.
The guidelines focus on simple field methods that can be easily applied to detect changes over time in populations and productivity of threatened species and other key species, of which Kiritimati has many.
The transportation and disposal of hazardous and radioactive wastes can be a project critical activity and needs to be planned well. Consideration should be given to removing radioactive material from a project site as soon as it is ready to be moved instead of combining it’s transportation with other hazardous wastes.
