• Description:
  "This capacity assessment is a component of the coral reef management priority setting process facilitated by the NOAA CRCP and initiated in 2009. The stated purpose of this process is 'to develop place-based, local coral reef management priorities' for the seven U.S. state and territorial coral reef jurisdictions, including Guam. In Guam, the priorities were identified in the 2010 publication of 'Guam's Coral Reef Management Priorities' (henceforth, the 'PSD'). The Guam PDS forms the lens for the capacity assessment process. The PDS includes, in Appendix Three, a brief summary of governance capacity issues in Guam entitled 'Preliminary Identification of Capacity Gap.' In September 2011, NOAA CRCP selected SustainaMetrix as part of a competitive bid process to conduct a more detailed assessment across all seven jurisdictions including Guam, which expands on this initial intent to address capacity gaps in ecosystem governance for coral reef management in Guam. This report summarizes the findings of our capacity assessment conducted in Guam between April 2013 and September 2013, including a 7-day site visit to Guam from June 7 to June 14, 2013, review of over 125 background documents, over 50 interviews, and ongoing collaboration with the Guam-J-Cat"--Page 16 (Introduction).
