Final Report: A Cooperative Agreement for Developing Sustainable Funding Strategies to Protect Coral Reefs in Hawai'i
"The specific threats and corresponding management interventions for coral reef ecosystems vary across the globe. One common challenge is the difficulty of securing sustainable funding to support the long-term management needed to protect, restore, and ma...
"To improve understanding of islandwide trends, CRED scientists have determined benthic cover around Guam at the functional level-corals, algae (fleshy macroalgae and turf algae combined), and crustose coralline red algae-through analyses of digital image...
"This is the final report on the expenditure of the grant funds that the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provided to the Division of Fish and Wildlife Protection (DFWP), Palau."
A report on the available economic data for the invertebrate fisheries (except shrimp)
The need for adequate economic data to understand and analyze U.S. domestic fisheries has been emphasized in all aspects of fishery research and management literature. It is the responsibility of the Southeast Fisheries Center to provide economic data and...
National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Calcification Rates of Crustose Coralline Algae Derived from Calcification Accretion Units (CAUs) Deployed across the Mariana Archipelago in 2011 and Retrieved in 2014 (NCEI Accession 0157758)
Calcification accretion units, or CAUs, are used to assess the current effects of changes in seawater carbonate chemistry on calcification and accretion rates of calcareous and fleshy algae in the Hawaiian and Mariana Archipelagos, American Samoa, and the...
National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Stratified Random Surveys (StRS) of Coral Demography (Adult and Juvenile Corals) across American Samoa in 2015 (NCEI Accession 0159173)
The data described here result from benthic coral demographic surveys for two life stages (juveniles, adults) across American Samoa in 2015. Juvenile colony surveys include morphology and size. Adult colony surveys record morphology, colony size, partial ...
Scleractinian Coral Cover Maps Derived from Classified in situ Seafloor Imagery for Select U.S. Locations in the Pacific from 2001 to 2015
Coral cover maps depict percentage of scleractinian (hard) coral cover along survey tracks, overlain on existing bathymetric grids and/or satellite images, for islands and banks across the U.S. Pacific Islands Region. The coral cover data is derived from ...
National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH and other variables collected from surface discrete measurements using Coulometer, alkalinity titrator and other instruments from the Pacific Remote Island Areas from 2015-01-26 to 2015-04-28 (NCEI Accession 0159169)
This NCEI Accession contains the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program carbonate chemistry data from the Pacific Remote Island Areas National Marine Monument from 2015-01-26 to 2015-04-28 (NCEI Accession 0159169). The project monitors changes to coral re...
Divers' willingness to pay for improved coral reef conditions in Guam: An untapped source of funding for management and conservation?
Coral reefs are increasingly threatened despite being essential to coastal and island economies, particularly in the Pacific. The diving industry relies on healthy reefs and can be positively and/or negatively impacted by ecological change. Quantifying di...
Reefs at risk [electronic resource] : improving the information available for sound management and protection of coral reefs in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands / prepared by Lauretta Burke.
"The project focused on land-based threats to coral reefs and developed a series of watershed-based indicators of threat to coastal ecosystems. Many spatial data sets were acquired, integrated and documented as part of this effort. All base GIS data as we...
