• Description:
  NCRMP provides large-scale, stratified-random monitoring data to detect the status and trends of coral reef communities. The NCRMP biological sampling effort consists of surveys of: 1) Fish Communities and Populations, and 2) Benthic Communities and Coral Populations. This report provides a broad overview of NCRMP’s accomplishments and regional results by summarizing the 2024 biological data collected by NOAA and regional partners in the shallow water coral reef ecosystems of East Flower Garden Bank (EFGB) and West Flower Garden Bank (WFGB).
