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).

Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System
The Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) is concerned with sustained observations and/or products and services based on such observations from the estuaries and Exclusive Economic Zone of the Gulf of Mexico. Observations and products from this group might be of help in understanding coral reef dynamics within the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.
