Guam's Coral Reef Management Priorities

Abstract

The purpose of this Priority Setting document is to articulate a set of strategic coral reef management priorities developed in consensus by the coral reef managers in Guam. NOAA will use this document in conjunction with its NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program Goals & Objectives 2010-2015 to direct its investment in activities in each jurisdiction through grants, cooperative agreements and internal funding. NOAA will also make this document available to other potential funders (non-governmental organizations (NGOs), federal partners, etc.) and encourage leveraging and new or expanded partnerships to build common coral reef conservation goals.
