7202 CRCP Joint Projects Project Published / External 1631 SEFSC Metadata Library Library In Work Corals are anthozoans, the largest class of organisms within the phylum Cnidaria. Comprising over 6,000 known species, anthozoans also include sea fans, sea pansies and anemones. Stony corals (scleractinians) make up the largest order of anthozoans, and are the group primarily responsible for laying the foundations of, and building up, reef structures.

The NCRMP is intended to coordinate various Coral Reef Conservation Coral Reef Program (CRCP) biological, physical, and human dimensions activities into a cohesive NOAA-wide effort. Through the implementation of the NCRMP, NOAA will be able to clearly and concisely communicate results of national?scale monitoring to national, state, and territorial policy makers, resource managers, and the public on a periodic basis. 8523 Data Set 70663 Project 3803 Project gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:7202 Lee Weinberger 2008-03-03T14:21:02 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2025-05-15T19:16:01 2022-02-28 Southeast Fisheries Science Center SEFSC 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 USA (305)361-5761 www.sefsc.noaa.gov 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. EST 1001 Public No 2022-02-28 1 Year 2023-02-28
