About APCRS
The Asia-Pacific Coral Reef Symposium is a major regional forum dedicated to coral reef science, conservation and management. Established in 2006, it brings together researchers, practitioners, managers, policymakers and other stakeholders from across one of the most diverse and important coral reef regions in the world.
The 6th Asia-Pacific Coral Reef Symposium will be held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, from 21–25 June 2027, bringing APCRS back to the Coral Triangle.
Reef Futures: Building on Legacy
The theme of APCRS 2027, Reef Futures: Building on Legacy, reflects both continuity and change, recognising what has been achieved while asking how accumulated knowledge and experience can be translated into more effective action for coral reefs.
