Book Description
"This report presents results of the 13th year of monitoring on reefs surrounding St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas (years 2001-2013). Monitoring sites were distributed across the insular platform in depths from 5 to 63 m (16 - 220') in an effort to capture the diversity of reef types present in the Virgin Islands. Long-term data is presented from 33 sites. While not exhaustive, the TCRMP is generally representative of the geographic areas and variety of reef types in the USVI. Digital video and diver surveys were used to quantify benthic cover and coral health at 14 permanent sites surrounding the island of St. Croix and 19 permanent sites on the Puerto Rican Shelf surrounding the island of St. John and St. Thomas. In addition, at 32 of these sites sea urchin density and fish community structure were evaluated. This report presents data from a major expansion of coral reef monitoring sites"--Executive summary (page 20).

Book Description
"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 the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). NOAA will use this document in conjunction with its 2010-2015 Coral Reef Conservation Program National Goals and Objectives (available at www.coralreef.noaa.gov) to direct its investment in activities in each jurisdiction through grants, cooperative agreements and internal funding. NOAA will also make the document available to other potential funders (NGOs, federal partners, etc.) and encourage leveraging and new or expanded partnerships to build common coral reef conservation goals"--Introduction.
