Turning coral reef data into action in the East Asian Seas with MERMAID

How can we turn field observations into powerful conservation tools for the East Asian Seas? In this regional discovery webinar, the ‪@wildlifeconservationsociety‬, ‪@UNEP‬, ‪@unenvironmentprogrammeasia4482‬, ‪@cobseasecretariat6031‬ the ‪@gefscssap‬, and the ‪@globalfundforcoralreefs4344‬ join forces to introduce MERMAID. What is MERMAID? MERMAID is a free, open-source web application that helps scientists and managers collect, manage, and report on coral reef health data in real-time. As the designated digital tool for the Global Fund for Coral Reefs (GFCR), MERMAID is currently tracking 10 core indicators and 35 sub-indicators to measure the success of reef conservation worldwide. Why this matters for the East Asian Seas: Following the 2025 Bali regional workshop, stakeholders across the East Asian Seas identified a critical need for streamlined monitoring. This session explores how MERMAID can: → Build synergy between national monitoring systems. → Support regional reporting requirements for COBSEA and SCS SAP. → Bridge the gap between raw data and on-the-ground restoration and financing. Featured Speakers: → Mahesh Pradhan, Coordinator, UNEP-COBSEA → Anders Poulsen, Senior Project Manager, GEF/UNEP SCS-SAP Project → Alexandra Kler Lago, Field Support & Partnerships Manager, WCS / MERMAID → Karenne Tun, Coordinator, GCRMN East Asia Resources: → Explore the platform: https://datamermaid.org/ → GFCR Monitoring & Evaluation Toolkit: https://cdn.sanity.io/files/bcil16f4/... 00:00 Welcome & Webinar Housekeeping 05:00 Opening Remarks: The Future of East Asian Seas Monitoring 10:30 Global Context: GFCR & GCRMN East Asia Perspectives 15:00 Virtual Group Photo & Session Transition 15:45 Deep Dive: Discovering the MERMAID Platform 22:30 Real-World Use Cases: Enhanced Reef Reporting 30:15 Connecting MERMAID to Global Coral Initiatives 38:00 Key Features & Future Developments 45:00 Regional Support: Capacity Building & Training 60:00 Q&A: Building Synergy with National Data Systems 72:00 Discussion: Bridging the Gap Between Data and Action 80:00 Concluding Remarks: Opportunities for the East Asian Seas 85:00 Next Steps & Regional Priorities
