ResourceBenthic Habitat Mapping at U.S. - Interest Pacific Islands
The NOAA Fisheries Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) is working with other agencies to produce benthic habitat maps for waters between the shoreline and the 200-m isobath.

ResourceSurvivorship of restored Acropora palmata fragments over six years at the M/V Fortuna Reefer ship grounding site, Mona Island, Puerto Rico
Patterns of survivorship of restored Acropora palmata fragments generated by the Fortuna Reefer ship grounding off Mona Island were examined over six years. Fragments (n=1857) were secured to the reef or dead standing colonies (skeletons) using wire withi...

ResourceA census of US Virgin Islands commercial fishers at the start of the 21st century
A census of the commercial fishers of the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) was conducted from July 2003 to January 2004 to determine the socioeconomic aspects of the fishers and to describe equipment used in the fishery. USVI fishers had a mean age of 50.5 yrs ...
ResourceVariability of Hawaiian reef accretion and El Nino over the holocene epoch
The authors conclude that less ENSO activity resulted in fewer and smaller severe wave events in Hawaii during early-mid Holocene times. Thus enabling reef accretion in areas where it is precluded by large North Pacific swell and hurricane-generated waves...
