Reef Conservation UK (RCUK) is an informal committee founded in 1997 and made up of coral reef enthusiasts from across the UK (and slightly further afield) who lend their time to organising and hosting an annual one-day conference at ZSL London Zoo.
The 2017 ECRS organising committee: Kirsty Richards - Zoological Society of London David Curnick - Zoological Society of London Dominic Andradi-Brown - World Wildlife Fund Robert Yarlett - University of Exeter Rebecca Short - Imperial College London Bry Wilson - University of Bergen Victoria Jeffers - Blue Ventures Catherine Head - University of Oxford Mike Sweet - University of Derby |

The International Society for Reef Studies (ISRS) was founded in 1980 and is the principal learned society to which reef scientists and managers from across the world belong. The main objective of the Society is to promote the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge and understanding of coral reefs.

As the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a unique and historic institution. Oxford has a distinctive collegiate structure. Students and academics benefit from belonging both to the University, a large, internationally-renowned institution, and to a college or hall, a small, interdisciplinary academic community. The central University is made up of many different sections, including academic and administrative departments, libraries and museums.

Firstly, we would like to say a HUGE thank you to all our volunteers for all their hard work to make ECRS runs so smoothly! Thank you also to all our plenary speakers, session and workshop organisers, trade stands and all our presenters for delivering your work in such high quality.
The RCUK committee have gone into hibernation for the remainder of the year, but check back here in the new year for a round up of post-conference news, prize announcements, and perhaps even information about RCUK 2018...
For the time being, thank you to everyone involved in ECRS 2017, we hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New International Year of the Reef 2018!
