• Comment: Mostly the same reasons as before -- you need significant coverage from multiple secondary, reliable, independent sources. It could also just be me, but the Divessi article not only screams as an advertisement but reads like it's AI-generated. EatingCarBatteries (contributions, talk) 06:29, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: All of the sources are primary, so can only be considered reliable to verify basic facts and do not establish notability. Also, wording like This functionality is provided free under 'basic membership', with career development resources (which include career opportunity listings, courses, a mentorship program, knowledge sharing masterclasses, publication hosting and a small research grants program) available for those wishing to access 'premium membership' levels is promotional. We need facts from reliable, secondary sources to establish notability, not what the group advertises or says about themselves. 🌀Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) (contribs)🔥 14:21, 15 December 2025 (UTC)


The Coral Reef Research Hub is a professional networking and career development initiative for individuals working in coral reef science, conservation, and management. It was established in the early 2020s by marine scientist Dr Stuart P. Wynne.[1]

Background

[edit]

The initiative was developed in response to widely documented challenges in marine and environmental sciences, including limited access to professional networks, career insecurity among early-career researchers, and the globally dispersed nature of coral reef research communities.[2][3] Network-based and digitally mediated professional communities have been increasingly recognised as mechanisms for collaboration, mentoring, and knowledge exchange in environmental research fields that require international and interdisciplinary coordination.[4][5][6]

Activities

[edit]

According to organisational materials, the Coral Reef Research Hub aims to facilitate connections among coral reef scientists and professionals across different career stages and sectors, including academia, management, and policy.[7]

Community

[edit]

As of December 2025, the Coral Reef Research Hub reported a membership of more than 2,000 individuals and a professional social media following exceeding 65,000 on Linkedin.[8]
