DRAFT Coral Reef Ecosystem Monitoring Report
for American Samoa: 2002-2006
During three Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) expeditions to American Samoa in 2002, 2004, and 2006 scientists in the PIFSC Coral Reef Ecosystem Division and partner organizations collected extensive information on coral reef biological communities and habitats throughout the American Samoa archipelago. CRED is preparing an extensive report of the study's results for publication later this year.
We are making a draft version of the report available to interested readers in the interim. The draft of the Coral Reef Ecosystem Monitoring Report for American Samoa: 2002-2006 was presented to the resource management agencies and key stakeholders in American Samoa and at the 18th U.S. Coral Reef Task Force meeting in American Samoa in August 2007 by Rusty Brainard, CRED Division Chief.
Individual chapters of the draft report may downloaded below in PDF 
format.
