Abstract:
"For the first time, NOAA's National Coral Reef Monitoring Plan (NCRMP) expands traditional biological and climatic monitoring of US coral reefs to include a socioeconomic component. Indicators, measured through resident surveys and secondary data, will be employed to assess the state of a jurisdiction, including information about the economic, social and cultural importance of coral reef fishing for the community, perceived resource conditions, and awareness of threats. Preliminary results focused on the connections between communities and coral reef resources will be presented along with a discussion of the tensions between protecting resources and communities in the face of environmental change."
