Abstract:
"With funding from NOAAs Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP), scientists from NOAAs National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science are conducting a project in southern Guam with local partners to monitor sediments and nutrients in the Ajayan, Liyog and Sumay rivers, which flow from the Manell watershed and empty into the Achang Reef Flat Marine Preserve in Cocos Lagoon. Local resource managers are concerned that erosion from the Manell watershed, part of the ManellGeus Habitat Focus Area, is impacting adjacent coral reefs in Cocos Lagoon, and have asked for an assessment of sediment and nutrient discharges from these rivers."
