"This capacity assessment is a component of the coral reef management priority setting process facilitated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coral Reef Conservation Program (NOAA CRCP) and initiated in 2009. The stated purpose of this process was "to develop place-based, local coral reef management priorities" for the seven United States (U.S.)state and territorial coral reef jurisdictions, including Hawaii. In Hawaii, the priorities in the 2010 publication of Hawaiian Archipelago' Coral Reef Management Priorities (henceforth, the "Priority Setting Document," or "PSD") were largely created in support of the ongoing development of the Hawaii Coral Reef Strategy: Priorities for Management in the Main Hawaiian Islands 2010-2020 (henceforth, the "Strategy") and The Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument Management Plan. Given that, the Strategy was the main lens for the capacity assessment process. For the purposes of this assessment, our scope included exclusively the Main Hawaiian Islands (also referred to as Hawaii and State of Hawaii as distinctive terms that are more appropriate in a given context). The Strategy includes, in Section 6, a brief summary of governance capacity issues in Hawaii entitled "Capacity Gaps." In this section, the Strategy states that, "The HCRS [the Strategy] cannot be implemented effectively without addressing capacity gaps in coral reef management." In September 2011, NOAA CRCP hired SustainaMetrix to conduct a more detailed assessment across all seven coral jurisdictions including Hawaii, which expands on this initial effort to address capacity gaps in ecosystem governance for coral reef management in Hawaii. This report summarizes the findings of our capacity assessment conducted in Hawaii between September 2012 and April 2013, including a 14-day site visit to Hawaii from November 26 to December 10, 2012, the review of over 140 background documents, over 65 interviews, and ongoing collaboration with the Hawaii Jurisdictional Capacity Assessment Team (J-CAT)"--Page 14 (Introduction).

"This capacity assessment, commissioned by National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration's Coral Reef Conservation Program, directly follows the coral reef management priority setting process facilitated by NOAA CRCP and initiated in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in 2009. In the CNMI, the priorities were summarized in the publication of 'Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands' Coral Reef Management Priorities' (henceforth, the 'PSD'). The PSD forms the lens for the capacity assessment process. As outlined in Section One of this report, the consultant team facilitated a rapid, largely qualitative, participatory approach to gain the perspectives of a representative group of resource users, managers, upper-level administrators and funders who are engaged in coral reef management in the CNMI. The primary purpose of this assessment is to examine the issues that affect capacity in the CNMI as it relates to implementing the priorities expressed in the PSD and present a set of near-term recommendations for addressing persistent capacity gaps and barriers. The recommendations are offered in an appreciation of the context of the persistent capacity gaps and barriers. The recommendations are offered in an appreciation of the context of the CNMI. Implementation of the recommendations will require an implementation strategy that is adaptive. Based on the changing conditions, some recommendations may be dropped, others implemented as planned, and yet others arise as priorities that may not have been anticipated as part of this process. Indeed, the challenges facing coral reef management in the CNMI will require a long-term strategy for building adaptive capacity within the current governance system as well as an appreciation for what may be needed to change the existing system. As with the other jurisdictions that depend on the goods and services that coral reef ecosystems provide, the CNMI will need to honestly evaluate its current ecosystem governance paradigm and structures that support or impede it. Shifting to new governance pathways may be very difficult as it requires exploring new paradigms for economic growth and sustainable development that may challenge current opinions and worldviews, incentives, power relationships, and institutions operating at different scales that do not support such shifts"--Page 6 (Introduction).

"The purpose of this document is to summarize the assessment of capacity building needs, and therefore present a type of diagnosis of the complex set of issues that affect coral reef management. While there can be no perfect blueprint or exact course of action for building precise capacity person by person or institution by institution, a prescription on how to continue to build capacity is offered and how to sustain a capacity building strategy to implement goals and objectives as defined in the USVI Priority Setting Document. There is much capacity present in the USVI coral reef management system and some successful examples are mentioned. However, a holistic, clear and detailed strategy is needed to routinely assess capacity and continually build capacity across the wide network of implementing partner organizations"--Preface.

"The objective of this assessment is to present an analysis of the issues that affect capacity to implement Puerto Rico's Coral Reef Management Priorities (NOAA, 2010) and Local Action Strategies (LAS) for Coral Reef Conservation 2011-2015 Puerto Rico (NOAA, 2011), and an associated set of recommendations that could lead to an action strategy to build adaptive capacity to address current management objectives. Commissioned by NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program, the consultant team facilitated a qualitative, collaborative and participatory approach to gain perspectives of resource users, managers and funders, and upper level administrators who fund coral reef management"--Page 2.

"This capacity assessment is a component of the coral reef management priority setting process facilitated by the NOAA CRCP and initiated in 2009. The stated purpose of this process is 'to develop place-based, local coral reef management priorities' for the seven United States (U.S.) state and territorial coral reef jurisdictions, including Florida. In Florida, the priorities were identified in the 2010 publication of 'Florida's Coral Reef Management Priorities.' A key purpose of this strategy was to create priorities for management recognizing that resources were limited and the management challenges were increasing. Thus the publication that was generated was referred to as a priority setting document, henceforth, the acronym "PSD" will be used to relate to this document. The Florida PSD forms the lens for the capacity assessment process although it is important to underscore the importance of the FDEP Coral CRCP Strategic Plan that was prepared in July 2011, as another priority setting document and thus adds an additional layer to the capacity assessment process. While the geographic scope of the Florida PSD encompasses the entire Florida Reef Tract, for the purposes of this capacity assessment the area of focus was determined to be the SEFCRI region. This four county region that includes Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties, includes the northern one third of the coral reef tract from the northern border of BNP to the St. Lucie Inlet. The PSD includes, in Appendix Three, a brief summary of governance capacity issues in Florida entitled 'Preliminary Identification of Capacity Gaps.' In September 2011, NOAA CRCP selected SustainaMetrix as part of a competitive bid process to conduct a more detailed assessment across all seven jurisdictions including Florida, which expands on this initial intent to address capacity gaps in ecosystem governance for coral reef management in Florida. This report summarizes the findings of our capacity assessment conducted in Florida between September 2013 and February 2014, including a seven-day site visit to the SEFCRI region in South Florida from October 20th to 26th, 2013, a subsequent three-day site visit to Tallahassee from November 14th to 16th, 2013 and review of over 100 background documents, over 50 interviews, and ongoing collaboration with an ad-hoc steering committee established to help inform this process named the Florida Jurisdictional Capacity Assessment Team or J-CAT"--Page 15 (Introduction).

"The decline of coral ... if it continues ... will mark the end of one of the great beauties of creation and the end of a great hope that of discovering life forms hitherto unknown on the Earth ... Let us not forget that we are responsible to posterity for the preservation of the beauties of the sea as well as for those on land. We must learn how to make use of the biological and mineral resources of the oceans ... But we must also learn how to preserve the integrity and the equilibrium of that world which is so inextricably bound to our own." - Jacques Yves Cousteau, Excerpt from Life and Death in a Coral Sea, 1971 This book reports on the World Bank's 5th Annual Conference on Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development, which focused on some of the most urgent threats facing coral reefs today, including the growing use of cyanide fishing along some of the richest reefs of the world, unsustainable trade in reef products, and constraints to effective establishment and management of marine protected areas. The proceedings stressed the need for strengthening the policy environment while adopting economic incentives and improved resource valuation techniques, informing management decisions through targeted research and monitoring, and rallying public support through environmental education and the media.

It has become clear during recent global deliberations on biodiversity conservation that achieving Protected Area (PA) financial sustainability will require major changes in the way that PA funding is conceptualized, captured and used. With many, if not most, PAs facing funding crises, both in terms of the amount of funds available and how those are used, there is an urgent need to expand and diversify PA financial portfolios, and to ensure that funding reaches the groups and activities essential for biodiversity conservation. A range of innovative financing mechanisms have been developed and implemented to increase funding for PAs. This document aims to review and assess the status of a variety of these mechanisms, the major obstacles and opportunities for their implementation, and the potential for improvement.
