Abstract:
NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) utilizes benthic mapping data on coral reef ecosystems to support a diversity of science-based management decisions. To efficiently allocate limited mapping resources, CRCP identified the need for current priority locations based on emerging management requirements in coral reef areas up to 40 meters deep along the south Florida coast, from Martin County to the Dry Tortugas. To meet this need, NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) developed a systematic, quantitative approach and online application to gather mapping priorities from researchers and coral reef managers.
