"This document outlines a plan for implementing the CRCP National Goals for addressing LBSP and supporting identified local priorities related to this threat. The implementation plan identifies the particular expertise, tools, and support the CRCP can provide to assure our partner jurisdictions have the capacity to successfully achieve management goals to reduce the impacts of LBSP to coral reef ecosystems and to effectively manage watersheds. Additionally, this implementation plan is intended to clearly articulate CRCP's niche in addressing LBSP, identify areas of collaboration, and ultimately help inform future LBSP funding decisions over the next five years (2011 - 2015). For the purposes of the LBSP Implementation Plan, NOAA's partnering jurisdictions include: American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Hawaii, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands"--Executive summary.
