Abstract

Decision directed to Animals Committee

The Animals Committee shall:

a) consider the report of the Secretariat and proceed towards recommending for adoption of a standard nomenclature reference for CITES-listed corals;

b) update its list of coral taxa for which identification to genus level is acceptable, but which should be identified to species level where feasible, once a new standard nomenclature reference for CITES-listed coral species has been identified and provide the updated list to the Secretariat for dissemination; and

c) report with recommendations to the 20th meeting of the Conference of the Parties.
