Update from Hawaii Coastal Zone Management & NOAA on the West Maui Watershed Collaborative Planning Project

At the Coastal Zone 2011 (CZ11) Conference in Chicago on July 20, 2011, a special session was held on the US Coral Reef Task Force priority partnership initiatives called “Managing Coral Reefs from Ridge to Reef – Working in Partnership across Federal and State Agencies and Non-governmental Organizations to Address Local Needs.”  The two priority partnerships are West Maui Watershed/ Kaanapali Hawaii Coral Reef Strategy Priority Site for the Pacific and Guanica Bay, Puerto Rico for the Caribbean.
