"The 12th International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS 2012), held in Cairns, Queensland, Australia from July 9 - 13th, 2012, was attended by nearly 2000 delegates. The program included over 1500 talks and posters. We are pleased to present the Proceedings, which contains almost 200 contributions from scientists around the world arising from the Symposium. The Proceedings encompass a broad spectrum of coral reef science, and demonstrate a growing expansion from the biological and earth sciences to non-traditional disciplines, including the social sciences and economics. The trend in earlier ICRS Symposia, towards a larger contribution from the fields of conservation planning and management , continued in Cairns in 2012. The Symposium also included an increased focus on climate change and ocean acidification , as well as reef management and governance issues including the Coral Triangle Initiative"--Editors preface.
