Description:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) established the Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program (DSCRTP) under the authority of t he Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), as reauthorized in 2007. The goal of the DSCRTP is to provide scientific information needed to manage and protect deep-sea coral and sponge ecosystems throughout the United States (NOAA 2008, Hourigan 2009). To facilitate this mission, the DSCRTP works with partners to support multi -year regional fieldwork initiatives and targeted projects centered on conducting new research, assimilating historic data, and making results public in support of DSCS ecosystem management.
