Approach: This project aims to utilize the data collated and relationships built in American Samoa as part of the FY21-23 CRCP Funded Data Integrator Project to help managers improve data management and create a variety of data driven products for manager...

A high restoration priority is to develop knowledge and tools that will enable the selection of brood stock for propagation efforts that can yield the most efficient and successful offspring. A now-demonstrated factor that challenges reproductive success ...

Spatial information about the seafloor is critical for environmental decision-making by coastal management organizations. NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) utilizes high quality, comprehensive mapping data to develop scientific information on ...

Sea Urchin restoration is a major component of restoring herbivory to the restoration sites. Our partners at the University of Florida and FL Aquarium have made tremendous progress on R&D over the last 12 months and funds are needed to begin moving R&D to...

Provide scientific advice, analysis and products to support Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) of U.S. Pacific Coral Reefs. This includes completion of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument coral reef monitoring report, as well as s...

We propose to test the hypothesis that known young genets of elkhorn coral have higher reproductive success, measured at successive life history stages (e.g., quantity and quality of gametes spawned, fertilization success, settlement and survivorship when...

This project addresses concerns over levels of contaminants in water, sediments, and marine organisms in the coral reef ecosystem of Salt River Bay. Degraded habitats and chemical contaminants can contribute both to human health risks from consumption of ...

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...
