Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Surveillance Guidelines for the Indo-Pacific

The cover page for a document titled “Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Surveillance Guidelines for the Indo-Pacific”.

The background features a split-perspective photograph, capturing both above and below the water’s surface. Above the water, a lush green, forested hillside rises steeply along the coast. Below the water, a scuba diver in a dark blue wetsuit and gloves works over a shallow coral reef, holding a stylus and writing data onto a underwater slate clipboard.

Centered on the image is a large, circular teal overlay shaped like a dialogue or speech bubble with a stylized swooping tail. White text inside this overlay reads: “Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease” in a larger font, followed by the subtitle “Surveillance Guidelines for the Indo-Pacific”.

The bottom left corner features three organizational logos arranged horizontally: the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force badge, the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program logo, and the Sea Grant Florida logo. Directly below the logos, a small text line reads “Date of Publication: February 2022”.
