NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program
From mapping and monitoring to managing reef resources and removing harmful debris, the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) addresses the priorities laid out in both the National Action Plan to Conserve Coral Reefs and the National Coral Reef Action Strategy. The CRCP supports effective management and sound science to preserve, sustain and restore valuable coral reef ecosystems to help fulfill NOAA’s requirements under a number of mandates, including the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000 (CRCA).
NOAA Coral Reef Information System
The Coral Reef Information System Web site (CoRIS) is designed to provide the public with a single point of access for coral reef data and information derived from many NOAA programs and projects, especially those that are part of NOAA’s activities on the National Coral Reef Task Force and NOAA’s implementation of the National Action Plan to Conserve Coral Reefs.
NOAA’s Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment
Coral Reef Ecosystem Studies (CRES) - US Caribbean Component. In response to the continued decline of coral reef ecosystem health, a 5-year research program funded through NOAA's Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR) has been developed to define and understand causes and effects of reef degradation, and provide managers information and tools to aid in reversing the degradation of US Caribbean reef ecosystems. This integrated multidisciplinary team, lead by scientists at the University of Puerto Rico, is based on existing collaborations (UPRM-UPRRP, UPRM-NOS-NMFS, USGS-NOS), and builds upon these and existing data extending over several decades and across the region.
