Abstract:
This report provides a baseline environmental assessment of Coral Bay and Fish Bay in St. John, USVI in support of watershed restoration activities on the island. This project was funded by the Caribbean Coral Reef Institute (CCRI), NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP), NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR), the National Park Service Natural Resource Preservation Program at Virgin Islands National Park, and NPS's South Florida/Caribbean Inventory and Monitoring Program. The historical data synthesized for this work was collected as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Caribbean Coral Reef Ecosystem Monitoring (CREM) project; a partnership effort between NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment, NOAA Fisheries Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC), US Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources - Division of Fish and Wildlife, US Geological Survey, National Park Service (NPS), the University of the Virgin Islands, and the University of Hawaii"--About this document.
