In recent years, crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) outbreaks have increased in scale and frequency, causing marine resource managers and scientists to take action. The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation (KSLOF) has come across several COTS infested reefs throughout the Global Reef Expedition in the Indo-Pacific. After using a variety of different methods for collecting and disposing of COTS on our missions, we developed a list of COTS Best Management Practices for the resource management and scientific community at-large.
