About the Archive

For decades, Coral Cay Conservation volunteers and scientists surveyed reefs, forests and coastlines, and turned that fieldwork into reports for local governments, protected area managers and partner organisations.

Many of the Philippine reports were written to help barangays and municipalities decide where to establish marine protected areas, and to measure whether existing ones were working.

The reports appear here as they were originally published, so species names, methods and recommendations reflect the time they were written. The archive is still growing, and more reports from CCC's records are being catalogued and added.

Using These Reports

Every report is free to read, download and share for research, education and conservation work.

When citing a report, please use the authors, year and title shown, with Coral Cay Conservation as the publisher.

Student theses are shared as Coral Cay Conservation published them. If you wrote one and would rather it was not online, let us know and we will take it down.

Looking for a CCC report that isn't here yet, or holding a copy of one we're missing? Get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
