NOAA Strategy for Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease: An Implementation Plan for Response and Prevention

The cover page of a strategic document from NOAA regarding coral reef health.

The top header contains three logos from left to right: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration logo, the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program logo, and the United States Department of Commerce seal.

The background is a vibrant underwater photograph of a coral reef under clear turquoise water. The main title is centered in bold, dark blue sans-serif lettering: “NOAA Strategy for Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease: An Implementation Plan for Response and Prevention”. Below the title, smaller text identifies the issuing body and date: “United States of America, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, September 2022”.

The center of the photograph features a scuba diver wearing a red and black wetsuit with scuba gear, swimming horizontally while closely inspecting a large, rounded coral structure on the reef floor.

At the bottom of the page, white text credits the authors: “LEAD AUTHORS: Caroline McLaughlin, Florida Sea Grant; Dana Wusinich-Mendez, NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program”.
