National Coral Reef Monitoring Program
The National Coral Reef Monitoring Program is a systematic effort to track the health and condition of coral reefs across the country. It involves collecting scientific data on reef ecosystems, including coral growth, water quality, and fish populations. This information helps scientists and policymakers understand how reefs are changing over time, identify threats like pollution or climate change, and develop strategies to protect and conserve these vital ecosystems. The program aims to ensure coral reefs remain healthy, vibrant, and resilient for future generations.
