Description:National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) conducts biological sampling for benthic communities (corals and algae) and fish populations in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) and Puerto Rico every other year. In 2021, NCRMP dive surveys occurred from summer (June) to early winter (December) on shallow-water (0–30 m) coral reefs and collected data on many thousands of individual coral colonies and fishes. NCRMP data are used to inform coral and fish population management strategies, document the occurrence of endangered species and coral disease, and assist with local monitoring efforts.
