Working Groups
One way in which the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force (USCRTF) works to accomplish its mission and implement projects and activities is through the coordination of smaller, issue specific working groups.
Diverse perspectives and active engagement strengthen the Task Force and enhance the quality of our work. You can join a working group if you are a Task Force member (federal agencies, U.S. coral reef jurisdictions, or freely associated states). The active working groups are coral disease, watershed, climate change, restoration, enforcement, fisheries, and communications. Email coralreefweb@noaa.gov for more information.
