| Title: | Assessing your watershed protection programs and regulations |
| Entry Type: | |
| Abstract: | The Eight Tools Audit is designed to identify regulatory and programmatic tools and gaps in your watershed protection arsenal. The self-assessment is organized by the eight categories of protection tools available in most communities. These tools roughly correspond to the stages of the development cycle from initial land use planning, site design, and . . . |

| Title: | Assessment of coral reefs off San Salvador Island, Bahamas (stony corals, algae and fish populations) |
| Entry Type: | Article. |
| Abstract: | During assessments at 11 shallow reef sites on San Salvador Island, Bahamas in June 1998 we found low prevalence of disease, bleaching, and recent partial-colony mortality among stony corals (10 cm minimum diameter). Old partial-colony mortality was >50% in Acropora palmata; however, recent tissue losses were low and it had recruits at several sites. . . . |
