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...

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 primary goal of this project is to assess how well photogrammetry (also known as Structure-from-Motion) can be used to improve our understanding of coral reef demographics and vital rates from colony to habitat-scale. This project builds out the innov...

To aid conservation, restoration and efforts to protect coral reefs we produce updated projections of coral reef futures. We will use CMIP6 data to project coral bleaching globally at native model scale (markedly higher than before, 1/4º), produce maps, c...

In collaboration with the Hawai'i Coral Bleaching Collaborative, our team in NOAA’s Ecosystem Sciences Division is joining a multi-institution effort to document the extent and severity of coral bleaching in the main Hawaiian Islands. Our goal is to lay t...

The Division of Aquatic Resources' outreach and education team and PIRO HCD staff have determined that fisheries workshops are an excellent tool to engage the fishing community, introduce fishers to data collection, and incorporate local ecological knowle...

This project provides supplies to assemble coral disease response kits to be distributed to key participants in the SCTLD response effort across Puerto Rico. The response kits include all materials and supplies needed to apply permitted treatments to cora...

This project will provide scientific basis for advice to managers on the scope for and limitations of herbivore management to increase persistence of US Pacific coral reefs. We are ultimately concerned with maintaining functioning coral reef systems, rath...

This project will develop a comprehensive Watershed Management Plan for Achugao, CNMI in collaboration with local partners and stakeholders. The watershed plan will propose a series of actions that can be taken to address known sources of land-based pollu...

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...
