Testing coral disease treatments across multiple species at several highly-infected Virgin Island coral reef National Parks
This research is specifically designed to create methods to respond to coral disease at all NPS coral reef parks in the Southeast Region by using parks within the US Virgin Islands as field test sites.
Coral disease and associated reef degradation is the primary marine resource challenge for NPS managers at these sites.
The primary objective of this project is to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of selected, promising coral disease treatments and techniques.
