OCTO Webinar: Advancing Coral Reef Rights
Wednesday, November 5, 2025 (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM) (EST)
Description
Ecocentric Governance for Marine Ecosystems: Advancing Coral Reef Rights
Nov 5, 2025 01:00 PM EST
Presented by: Grant Wilson and Lucy Ward of the Earth Law Center
Description: Coral reefs are under serious threat worldwide—up to 50% have already been lost, and as much as 90% could disappear by 2050. Earth-centered laws that recognize Nature’s intrinsic value and rights are increasingly being applied to address global challenges in a holistic and grounded way. In this webinar, representatives from the Earth Law Center (ELC) will explore how these legal frameworks can be used to protect marine ecosystems, with a particular focus on leveraging Rights of Nature laws to support the protection and restoration of coral reefs. Presenters will provide an in-depth look at the toolkit “A Voice for Coral Reef Ecosystems Through the Rights of Nature and Ecocentric Law”, recently released in partnership with over 30 collaborators and endorsers working globally on reef protection and Rights of Nature initiatives.
This webinar will provide a deeper understanding of how community-led projects can be supported by ecocentric legal frameworks, and how these frameworks can help shape policy and management strategies that promote locally-led, holistic solutions.
