"State of U.S. Coral Reefs" Reports for Libraries, Labs
from Coral_list 8 August 2006:
In August 2005, NOAA announced the availability of a report entitled: The State of Coral Reef Ecosystems of the United States and Pacific Freely Associated States: 2005. This report represents an initial effort to determine the present condition of shallow water coral reef ecosystems based on quantitative results of assessment and monitoring activities conducted by Federal, State, Territory, Commonwealth, non-governmental, private, and academic partners. Production of the report was led by NOAA in close collaboration with teams of experts that authored chapters on the condition of coral reef ecosystems in each of 14 jurisdictions. PDFs of the report chapters are available for free here.
Jenny Waddel, who posted this, is seeking assitance "in placing the remaining printed copies of the report in University libraries and marine labs, where they can be accessed by many. If you know of an academic library or marine lab that would like a copy of the report, please ask them to send a formal request for the printed report to CoralReport2005 so that we can make the information as widely available as possible."
