Micronesia Conservation Trust and Its Partners Will Expand on the Work Achieved Thus Far Under Previous CRCP Cooperative Agreements (CA) Already Completed and in Progress That Continuously Improve Collaborative Science-to-management Tools. MCT and Its Partners Will Continue Building Regional Capacity to Use Biophysical and Socioeconomic Data and Evaluation Protocols to Collect Analyze, and Translate Coral Reef and Socioeconomic Monitoring Results in Support of a Resilience-based Management Approach in the Region. These Activities Are Essential Components of Science-to-management Networks That Support the Micronesia Challenge and Overall Resource Management at the National, State and Community Levels Across the Region.
