Can anyone identify a reference or documentation which would
characterize a percentage of degradation of United States reefs?
I know that Wilkinson was the basis for the International Coral
Reef Initiative's global characterization of 10% of the worlds
reefs being degraded beyond recovery. Has any similar work been
done for the U.S. reefs? By U.S. reefs, this would include
Florida, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, American
Samoa and Northern Mariana. Any suggestions?
