Description:

Coral restoration in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) is represented by community partnerships between coral restoration practitioner groups and representatives from management agencies, collectively known as the Virgin Islands Restoration of Coral Squad (VI-RoCS). In 2023, VI-RoCS published the U.S. Virgin Islands Coral Reef Restoration Plan (VI-RoCS 2023), which details current and planned coral restoration efforts with the overall goal of reestablishing ecological function over ten years.
