Executive Directive 235 establishes the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas' Coral Reef Initiative Program under the Office of the Governor with an interagency structure to coordinate coral reef issues. The agencies include the Coastal Resources Management, the Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Division of Environmental Quality. The interagency group is tasked with protecting coral reefs and implementation of Local Action Strategies projects.

COMING SOON! *2008 State of the Reefs Report*

NOAA will be releasing the 2008 report on the status of US coral reefs in July during the International Coral Reef Symposium being held in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
