This book is the result of NOAA CRCP's sponsored workshop held by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council in Tampa, Florida, 20-22 May 2013, where world authorities came together to discuss the current and emerging threats as well as challenges and opportunities for managing corals and associated fisheries. The presentations and abstracts from this workshop are freely available on the Gulf Council FTP site (http://www.gulfcouncil.org/about/ftp.php). Audio/video recordings are archived and sections can be made available upon request to the Gulf Council (info@gulfcouncil.org).
