"The United States Virgin Islands (USVI) Reef Resilience and Climate Change: A workshop for Coral Reef Managers, held May 10-14, 2010 at the Frenchman's Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort on St. Thomas in the USVI, was the eighth in a series of capacity-building presentations. This workshop, based on A Reef Manager's Guide to Coral Bleaching (The Manager's Guide) and the Reef Resilience Toolkit: Resources for Reef Managers (R2 Toolkit), provided a response framework for mass bleaching and climate change and MPA design which incorporates the concept of resilience. This particular workshop was the third that occurred after a curriculum update that was undertaken in partnership with The Nature Conservancy Global Marine Initiative. The updated curriculum merges the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program Responding to Climate Change curriculum with The Nature Conservancy Reef Resilience Toolkit curriculum"--Overview.
