Description:"The environmental resources within St. Croix's East End Marine Park (STXEEMP)-a 60 square mile marine area surrounding the East End of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands (USVI)-are arguably some of the greatest natural assets of the US Virgin Islands. A diversity of users including residents, fishermen, tourist-dependent businesses, recreationists, and scientists rely on the protection of these resources from overuse, water quality degradation, and habitat loss. These impacts can jeopardize continued use and may ultimately reduce ecosystem resiliency to storm damage and climate change. It is within this context that the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program has sponsored efforts to evaluate land-based sources of pollution (LBSP) and identify management alternatives to help minimize impacts stemming from the six watersheds surrounding STXEEMP"--Introduction.
