Welcome
to NOAA's Coral Health and Monitoring
Program (CHAMP). Our mission is to provide services and information sources
for researchers and the public in order to help improve and sustain coral
reef health throughout the world. In order to answer a variety of
questions related to coral reefs and this program we have included an
extensive listing of Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ). If you are interested in receiving announcements,
news and participating in ongoing discussions via email we also have our
coral-list
listserve available to you, currently serving over 2000 subscribers
worldwide. These services and more can be accessed via the top menu navigation
system as well as from our site map.
NOAA/OAR's
CHAMP is now in the process of installing Coral
Reef Early Warning System (CREWS) monitoring stations at all major
US coral reef areas,
according to recommendations by the US
Coral Reef Task Force. These meteorological and oceanographic monitoring
stations, as well as those in the SEAKEYS
Network, provide near real-time data and information products. The
CREWS Program is a part of a collaborative NOAA partnership called Coral
Reef Watch.
