Description:

NOAA’s Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) utilizes benthic mapping data on coral reef ecosystems to support a diversity of science-based management decisions. To efficiently allocate limited mapping resources, CRCP identified the need for current priority locations based on emerging management requirements in coral reef areas up to 40 meters deep along the coasts of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). To meet this need, NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) developed a systematic, quantitative approach and online GIS application to gather seafloor mapping priorities from researchers and coral reef managers. Participants placed virtual coins into a grid overlaid on the project area to express the location of their mapping priorities. They also used pull-down menus to indicate specific mapping data needs and the rationale for their selections. Participants’ inputs were compiled and analyzed to identify high priority areas along with their justifications and requirements.
