Resolutions
The U.S. Coral Reef Task Force (USCRTF) works by consensus with all individuals providing input and expertise. USCRTF Members address new topics and issues that are priority concerns for the long-term health and sustainability of coral reef ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. One mechanism by which this is accomplished is through the passage of resolutions. Resolutions define the issue or problem and then set out a plan of action. Any USCRTF or Steering Committee Member can present resolutions for the Task Force to consider at its biannual meetings. The following USCRTF Resolutions, listed by date, have been adopted.
