Description:NOAA recognizes the deterioration of global coral reef ecosystems and is committed to intervening in US reefs where it has the authority to act and support, and to promote the restoration and intervention of reefs worldwide. The recently completed National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) reports on coral interventions have helped NOAA to develop this high-level plan of action that will guide how the agency approaches coral interventions in the next one to three years. The plan encompasses four actions for the agency: (1) research and test priority interventions, (2) develop local or regional structured decision support, (3) review policy implications of coral interventions, and (4) invest in infrastructure, research, and coordination. This action plan in no way encompasses all of what is needed to ensure the persistence of reefs; it merely delineates the steps NOAA aspires to undertake in the near term.
