First biennial report to Congress prepared by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service, under the auspices of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program, and in collaboration with other NOAA offices, to report on steps taken to identify, monitor, and protect deep sea coral areas. Includes summaries of the results of mapping, research, and data collection performed under the Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program, and presents key findings, NOAA activities and recommendations. Discusses marine protected areas designed or recommended to protect deep sea corals.
This is the second biennial Report to Congress and the public on Implementation of the Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program, established under the authority of Section 408 of the Magnus on-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). The report, prepared by NOAA in consultation with the Regional Fishery Management Councils. It also briefly summarizes critical, complimentary activities by other NOAA programs to support exploration, research and management of deep-sea coral ecosystems that have taken place since the first Report to Congress submitted in 2008.
"This report describes the 2012 and 2013 research activities executed by NOAA project teams with funding provided by the Program. It also briefly describes progress during this period in MSArelated management actions that contribute toward protecting deep-sea coral areas. This report is supplemented by summaries of individual Program-funded projects available online at www.habitat.noaa.gov/deepseacorals" --About this report.
NOAA Technical Memorandum CRCP 11. Identifies goals, objectives, and approaches to guide NOAA's research, management, and international cooperation activities on deep-sea coral and sponge ecosystems for fiscal years 2010 through 2019. Integrates research and conservation needs and is intended to be a flexible, evolving document that allows NOAA and its partners to address new management challenges and priorities as appropriate. The primary goal of this Strategic Plan is to improve the understanding, conservation, and management of deep-sea coral and sponge ecosystems.
The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session. The Congressional Record began publication in 1873. Debates for sessions prior to 1873 are recorded in The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1789-1824), the Register of Debates in Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873)
An approach that encompasses the human and natural dimensions of ecosystems is one that the Wider Caribbean Region knows it must adopt and implement, in order to ensure the sustainable use of the region's shared marine resources. This volume contributes towards that vision, bringing together the collective knowledge and experience of scholars and practitioners within the Wider Caribbean to begin the process of assembling a road map towards marine ecosystem based management (EBM) for the region. It also serves a broader purpose of providing stakeholders and policy actors in each of the world's sixty-four Large Marine Ecosystems, with a comparative example of the challenges and information needs required to implement principled ocean governance generally and marine EBM in particular, at multiple levels. Additionally, the volume serves to supplement the training of graduate level students in the marine sciences by enhancing interdisciplinary understanding of challenges in implementing marine EBM.
In December 2003 the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program released a report to Congress on the implementation of the Coral Reef Conservation Grant Program. Progress Report: The Coral Reef Conservation Grant Program provides an overview of the program since its establishment in 2002. It also highlights the achievements of the program in each of the topic areas and provides specific geographic and substantive information on all 83 grants awarded in fiscal years 2002 and 2003.
