<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.921569); color: #222222; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"> The US Coral Reef Task Force (USCRTF) was established in 1998 by //Executive Order 13089// to lead and coordinate US efforts to address the threats facing coral reefs. NOAA and the Department of the Interior serve as co-chairs of the USCRTF, which includes the heads of twelve federal agencies and the governors of American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Florida, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. The leaders of the Freely Associated States (Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau) also participate as non-voting members. Through the coordinated efforts of its members, the USCRTF has helped build and lead US efforts to protect, restore and sustainably use the nation’s valuable coral reef ecosystems.
