ERDDAP offers all data as .html table, ESRI .asc and .csv, Google Earth .kml, OPeNDAP binary, .mat, .nc, ODV .txt, .csv, .tsv, .json, and .xhtml.

What are CRCP and NCRMP ?

The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) is a matrix program administered by NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) and operating across four NOAA line offices: NOS, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), and Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR). The program supports coral reef regions of the United States (U.S.), has an international component, and is integrated with other federal agencies, states, territories and commonwealths, and local governments. In September 2007, CRCP conducted an external program review for an assessment of the CRCP's effectiveness in achieving its mandates and to provide recommendations for improving its impact and performance. Recommendations from this review, along with the subsequent planning process (the roadmap) shaped the recent history of the CRCP. In 2011, CRCP welcomed a new program manager, John Christensen, to lead the program forward. 2012 ushered in the first activities under the new National Coral Reef Monitoring Plan (NCRMP).
