This blog attempts to bring together coral researchers and Marine Protected Area supervisors to discuss what data need to be integrated for themselves, as well as for the public, and how to go about it. You must be an invited member to post to this list, but if you produce and use coral data, we want to hear from you. (Write to Jim.Hendee at noaa.gov).
