Collaborative Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) Treatment and Management Strategy 2023/2024 2024

Abstract

The Coral Conservation in the UK Overseas Territories (C-COT) Working Group was initially established as a collaborative effort to bring together six Caribbean and Western Atlantic UK Overseas Territories (OTs), to address an aggressive coral disease found spreading around reefs in the Caribbean – Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD).

The SCTLD Treatment Strategy is a summary document that pulls together both regional and Caribbean UK Overseas Territory evidence pertaining to Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) treatment. The strategy document offers background information on the history, nature and defining characteristics of the disease, and provides recommendations for reef managers to follow during the various stages of a SCTLD outbreak on local reefs.

The C-COT group is funded by the UK Government and has been supported by the Darwin Plus grant scheme for the past three years, which also funded the production of this output. More information on the group can be found on the Collaborative approach to managing coral disease in the UK Overseas Territories webpage.
