<div style='text-align:Left;font-size:12pt'><div><p><span>Through the implementation of a multi-year Interagency Agreement, NOAA's Biogeography Branch mapped 53.4 km2 of shallow-water habitats around St. John and 90.2 km2 of moderate-depth habitats south of St. John for the Department of Interior (DOI), National Park Service (NPS), Inventory and Monitoring Program (I).</span></p><p><span /></p><p><span>NCCOS developed benthic habitat maps for shallow areas (< 30 m) around St. John and moderate-depth areas (30–60 m) south of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. These maps are helping local managers develop place-based strategies to address and remedy specific threats to coral reefs inside Virgin Islands National Park and the Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument.</span></p><p><span /></p><p><span>For more information, visit the project website at https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/benthic-habitat-mapping-st-john-u-s-virgin-islands-national-park-reef-national-monument/</span></p></div></div> |
