Brief Program Description:
The Coastal and Marine Resources Program (CMRP) helps federal,
state, local, and international managers to protect, restore, and
use
coastal ecosystem services. CMRP promotes a comprehensive approach
to balance competing interests from coastal watersheds to marine
waters. The program includes place-based management and conservation
programs implemented in partnership with state and local partners
or through coordination with key international, federal, state
and local partners. Primary capabilities are: applied research
and technology development; place-based management of coastal and
marine resources; capacity building; stewardship; and coordination
and integration. In collaboration with other stewardship programs,
and building upon the research, modeling, and assessment competencies
in the Ecosystem goal, CMRP provides the critical building blocks
for protecting, restoring and managing the use of coastal and ocean
resources through an ecosystem approach to management.
Program Outcomes:
|
|
|
- Priority land and water habitats are protected, restored or enhanced as habitat for fish and wildlife
- Coastal and marine managed areas operate effectively as demonstrated by performance measures tracking progress toward management objectives
- Coastal economic, ecological and cultural priorities are balanced through coordination of NOAA, state and local management tools and practices
- Enhanced place-based management in US and international coastal and ocean areas through improved coordination, integration and cooperation
- Integrated observing systems throughout the U.S. EEZ are providing comprehensive data and information that improves effective management
- Important ocean, coastal and Great Lakes areas are fully characterized
- Ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resource decision-makers increasingly apply innovative scientific and technology tools
- Increased ocean, coastal and Great Lakes literacy demonstrated by public, students and educators that participate in site education programs
- Public is using monitoring information, data and tools generated in ocean and coastal areas to effectively participate in place-based management initiatives
- Gaps in a scientifically-based comprehensive national and international system of MPAs are identified and filled
