[Coral-List] Public Comment Opportunity: NOAA CRCP Goals and Objectives

[Kacky.Andrews]

The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) Draft Threat-Based and 
International Goals and Objectives are available for public comment, 
March 27 – April 24, 2009.

Your comments are important to us and will help inform the Final Goals 
and Objectives for the CRCP. Comments received will be forwarded to the 
appropriate working group (Fishing Impacts, Land-Based Sources of 
Pollution, Climate Change, and International) for consideration and 
incorporation into the final document as appropriate.

When providing comment, we are particularly interested in the following:
• Are the Goals and Objectives at the appropriate scale (20-year Goals 
and 5-year Objectives)?
• Are there significant gaps?
• Are the Goals and Objectives sufficiently focused to achieve 
measurable improvement in coral reef ecosystem condition?
• Identify which objectives you feel should be the top priority for the 
CRCP.


For more information, directions on how to provide public comment and to 
access the Draft documents, please visit the CRCP Web site at

Please submit comments to crcp.roadmap at noaa.gov no later than April 24, 
2009.
