Synopsis

The Coral Reef & Natural Resources (CRNR) Initiative provides grant funding to protect the health of all natural resources including coral reef ecosystems in the U.S. insular areas for the long-term economic and social benefit to their island populations including risk management, prevention, rapid response, eradication, and other efforts to combat invasive species and restore native species. Healthy coral reefs protect human communities from storm surges.
