Governor's Coral Reef Advisory Group - American Samoa

Pago Pago, E, American Samoa

  • About Us

    The Coral Reef Advisory Group (CRAG) coordinates American Samoa's coral reef management efforts and activities. The group is a collaboration of five local agencies: the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR), the Department of Commerce (DOC; including AS Coastal Management Program & Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary), the American Samoa Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the American Samoa Community College (ASCC), and the National Park of American Samoa (NPS). Member agencies work together by mutual consensus to manage coral reefs with the vision "to protect and conserve reefs for the benefit of the people of American Samoa, the United States, and the world". The group works toward this vision by implementing strategies to address various areas of coral reef conservation; from education and outreach, policy and enforcement, to scientific research and monitoring.
