Coastal Oceans Research and Development in the Indian Ocean (CORDIO) was established in 1999 as a regional research network in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) focused on coral reef science. Its formation was originally spurred by the global coral bleaching event of 1998.
Registered as a non-profit organisation in Kenya in 2003, CORDIO has grown over the past two decades into a leading centre for coastal marine and ocean science and conservation in East Africa and the wider WIO region.
