Coral Reef Conservation Program management priority setting

This page provides background and information on the CRCP's management priority setting process, as well as the management priorities established by each of the seven US state and territorial coral reef jurisdictions. This assessment came out of recommendations listed in the CRCP Roadmap for the Future. The purpose of these Management Priority Setting documents is to articulate a set of strategic coral reef management priorities developed in consensus by the coral reef managers in seven US coral reef jurisdictions. NOAA will use these documents in conjunction with its 2010-2015 Coral Reef Conservation Program National Goals and Objectives to direct its investment in each jurisdiction through grants, cooperative agreements and internal funding. NOAA will also make the document available to other potential funders such as non-governmental organizations, federal partners, etc., and encourage leveraging and new or expanded partnerships to achieve common coral reef conservation goals
