Statistical models to better link projection models of oceanic carbonate systems to reef-scale OA impacts
This project will entail a Pacific basin-wide carbonate chemistry analysis, presenting a synthesis of observed spatial and temporal patterns in the reef carbonate system across the Pacific. A post-doc (Heidi Hirsch) is building a statistical model to desc...
Creation of National Coral Reef Monitoring Program summary report reproducible template (benthics; Atlantic)
In this project, we will create reproducible research templates to automate the creation of NCRMP Benthic Atlantic data summaries. Benthic data for summary reports will be created for each of the four jurisdictions. The report template will contain reprod...
NCRMP Atlantic Benthics publication on status report scoring
The NCRMP Benthics section of the NCRMP Atlantic jurisdictions' status reports may be one of the first, if not the first effort, that has tried to objectively "score" an ecosystem. i.e., we know that coral cover has declined. But we have never attempted a...
Integration of NCRMP and FGBNMS Coral Reef Monitoring Programs
Objectives: The objectives of this proposed work include: FY21 - analysis and calibration of field data scheduled to be collected jointly in FY20; FY22 - conducting a workshop to discuss data, methods and results, and develop a data sharing...
Evaluating an NCRMP Redesign: Zone Based Strategy Power Analysis
To increase the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program's (NCRMP's) power to identify coral reef locations, coral populations, and ecological processes that show differential resilience, we are examining alternative statistical designs for the survey. Spec...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coral Reef Conservation Program (NOAA-CRCP) is investing significant funding to support a National Coral Reef Monitoring Plan (NCRMP) throughout the U.S. Pacific, Atlantic, and Caribbean coral reef areas...
The National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) is planning to develop Caribbean jurisdictional status reports for a 2019 rollout. This project will assist in developing and executing NCRMP-Caribbean benthic analytics and methodology. As part of the pr...
NCRMP Data, Reports, and Information Products for Management
In response to the 2016 CRCP Science Review and the PIFSC External Review of Ecosystem Science, the PIFSC-Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) will continue efforts initiated in FY17 to improve the timeliness of analytical products and alignment with nationa...
Coral reefs provide nearly $30 billion in net benefits in goods and services to world economies each year, including tourism, fisheries, and coastal protection, and an estimated $3.4 billion annually in total economic value to the U.S. The "Coral Reef Con...
