For Immediate Release
December 5, 2019

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery has reinvented its Coral Portal website. The newly designed site features improved visuals with the following resources:

• Interactive maps displaying locations of corals, habitats, and fishery management areas in the Gulf of Mexico
• Tools used to support fisheries management decisions
• Educational resources designed to enhance your understanding of corals, habitats, and fish species that depend on them
• Downloadable supporting files, metadata, and related publications.

Development of the site is funded by the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program. This project aims to share environmental information associated with corals and fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico with stakeholders across the Gulf that engage in business, recreation, and research.
