These two species qualified as ESA threatened species because there was evidence they have undergone substantial declines in abundance (from historic levels) throughout their ranges. NOAA Fisheries Service is now seeking to determine the extant spatial distribution of these two species throughout the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean to aid in the management and regulatory activities related to ESA listing. These data represent the potential locations of presence or absence for elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) and staghorn coral (A. cervicornis).\r\n \r\n \r\n The overarching goal is to provide NOAA Fisheries Service with information on the extant spatial distribution of acroporid corals throughout the Caribbean Sea to aid in management and regulatory activities related to their Endangered Species Act (ESA) listing. The purpose of these data is to visually represent the potential locations of presence or absence of Acropora spp. for GIS analysis and display.\r\n \r\n \r\n underDevelopment\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Jennifer Moore\r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA-National Marine Fisheries Service\r\n \r\n \r\n Acropora Coordinator\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 727-824-5312\r\n \r\n \r\n 727-824-5309\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 263 13th Avenue South\r\n \r\n \r\n St. Petersburg\r\n \r\n \r\n FL\r\n \r\n \r\n 33071-5505\r\n \r\n \r\n USA\r\n \r\n \r\n Jennifer.Moore@noaa.gov\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n pointOfContact\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n irregular\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS_Metadata\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NCEI Geoportal Filter\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Acropora Implementation Issues\r\n \r\n \r\n 2160\r\n \r\n \r\n project\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CRCP Project\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Geographic Information > Reef Locations\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Coral Reef Ecology > Coral Cover\r\n \r\n \r\n EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n CoRIS Theme Thesaurus\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Acropora palmata\r\n \r\n \r\n Acropora cervicornis\r\n \r\n \r\n Endangered Species\r\n \r\n \r\n GIS\r\n \r\n \r\n staghorn coral\r\n \r\n \r\n elkhorn coral\r\n \r\n \r\n theme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n None\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Caribbean\r\n \r\n \r\n Puerto Rico\r\n \r\n \r\n Virgin Islands\r\n \r\n \r\n St. John\r\n \r\n \r\n St. Thomas\r\n \r\n \r\n St. Croix\r\n \r\n \r\n Caribbean Sea\r\n \r\n \r\n place\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n None\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Puerto Rico > Puerto Rico (18N066W0000)\r\n \r\n \r\n OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Caribbean Sea /North Atlantic Ocean > Puerto Rico > Puerto Rico (18N066W0000)\r\n \r\n \r\n OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Caribbean Sea > Virgin Islands > Virgin Islands > St. John (18N064W0011)\r\n \r\n \r\n COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > U.
