Abstract: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created the Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) to safeguard and ensure the welfare of the coral reef ecosystems along the coastlines of the Manell-Geus watershed in the village of Merizo, Guam. The administration of this program has potential economic and cultural impacts on the lives of nearby residents and citizens. In accordance with its mission goals, NOAA has designed a survey to help assess the impacts of the Coral Reef Conservation Program. The survey is designed to be repeated every three to four years in order to provide longitudinal data at the village level regarding the impact of the Coral Reef Conservation Program.
