DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Coral Reef Conservation Program 

External Review 

AGENCY: Coral Reef Conservation 

Program, NOAA, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Coral Reef Conservation 

Act of 2000 supports effective 

management and sound science to 

preserve, sustain, and restore valuable 

coral reef ecosystems. The NOAA Coral 

Reef Conservation Program (CRCP or 

Program) is a partnership among four 

NOAA Line Offices (i.e., the National 

Ocean Service, the National Marine 

Fisheries Service, the National 

Environmental Satellite, Data, and 

Information Service, and the Office of 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Research) 

working on coral reef issues. The 

program carries out, directly and in 

partnership with scientific, private, 

government and nongovernmental 

groups, a wide range of coral reefrelated activities, including mapping 

and monitoring, management and 

capacity building, strategic research, 

and education and outreach. 

In order to evaluate and improve the 

success of its efforts to understand and 

conserve coral reefs, the CRCP is 

undertaking a comprehensive external 

review of the program. To this end, the 

CRCP is seeking external feedback, 

including public comment, on the 

program’s approach to balancing 

competing priorities. 

An independent contractor will 

summarize all comments received in 

response to this request and will 

provide them to an expert review panel 

scheduled to convene in late September 

2007. 

DATES: Your comments must be 

submitted no later than July 19, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: This announcement 

contains guidance on how to provide 

feedback, including some of the 

questions for which the CRCP is seeking 

comment. The questions are also 

available for download via the Internet 

on the CRCP Web site at http:// 

www.coralreef.noaa.gov/review.html. 

You may submit comments 

electronically via e-mail to 

crcp.comments@noaa.gov. You may also 

submit comments in writing to: CRCP,

Highway, Sta. 10122, (N/ORM), Silver 

Spring, Maryland 20910. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Roger Griffis by mail at CRCP, NOAA, 

1305 East-West Highway, Sta. 10122,

or e-mail: roger.b.griffis@noaa.gov or

www.coralreef.noaa.gov/review.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CRCP’s external review will encompass 

program activities between 2002 and 

2006. An independent, external panel of 

seven experts in coral reef and natural 

resource science and management will 

convene for a three day meeting in late 

September 2007 to review materials and 

information about the CRCP, develop 

findings, and make recommendations. 

The program is seeking input on the 

questions listed below. Please note that 

you do not need to address all 

questions, and the CRCP welcomes 

additional input on topics not covered 

in the questions listed. 

Although the CRCP is the most 

interested in obtaining feedback based 

on the public’s interaction and 

experience with the Program, 

background information concerning the 

CRCP and its activities is available from 

the CRCP Web site at http:// 

www.coralreef.noaa.gov/review.html. 

The CRCP is seeking input on the 

following questions: 

• Is the Program focusing efforts on 

the right suite of activities to advance 

coral reef conservation? 

• Are the Program’s efforts in various 

geographic areas appropriate to address 

the issues in each region? 

• Are the Program’s science and 

observation efforts (e.g., research, 

mapping, and monitoring) adequately 

addressing management needs, and 

informing and resulting in management 

actions? 

• Have the Program’s education and 

outreach efforts been effective in 

reaching the proper audiences? 

• Is the Program providing effective 

leadership and building useful 

partnerships to advance coral reef 

conservation? 

• How can the CRCP improve its 

impact and performance in the future? 

An electronic version of these 

questions is available on the CRCP Web 

site at http://www.coralreef.noaa.gov/ 

review.html. 

(Optional) When you submit your 

comments, you are welcome to provide 

background information about yourself, 

such as your organization(s), area(s) of 

expertise, and experience with the 

CRCP. This information will be used by 

the independent consultant who will 

compile and summarizes the comments. 

Public comments may be submitted 

from June 19, 2007 [publication date], 

through July 19, 2007 [30 days after].
