1. Story
2. A voluntary partnership of governments and organisations is announced to raise reef conservation internationally, with no treaty basis and no enforcement mechanism. Its practical output became the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network and the periodic Status of Coral Reefs of the World reports — the first attempts to state, on one consistent basis, how much reef there is and what condition it is in.

12. Evidence
13. Around sixteen per cent of the world's reef-building corals died in the 1998 global bleaching event, with losses very unevenly distributed and most severe in the western Indian Ocean. V55 verification basis: not consulted; the sixteen per cent figure is the widely repeated headline of this report and is stated from the producing model's knowledge, not read from the report. The regional breakdown behind it was not checked.
