By using 50 datasets on benthic coral reefs monitoring, we estimated the temporal trends in the benthic cover of seven benthic categories. We also calculated how certain threats to coral reefs of the Pacific have changed over the last decades. Our results show a complex situation. The overall stability in hard coral cover can be seen as a signal of hope in a context of global decline of hard coral cover. We have put forward various hypotheses, which are not mutually exclusive, to explain this result.

The importance of coral reefs cannot be overstated. Despite covering a small fraction of the world's surface area, they represent crucial most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet and they also provide vital contributions to coastal protection and nutrition and livelihoods of millions of people.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 2 p.

The assessment aligns with the Pacific Coral Reef Action Plan 2021–2030, supporting key action areas
such as capacity building, habitat conservation, and research utilisation. Rather than imposing a uniform
regional model, the recommendations emphasise tailored approaches that reflect national and sub
regional priorities and governance structures, particularly given responsibilities for reef monitoring and
management can vary from community-led to government-driven systems. By enhancing fit-for-purpose
