Important species of the wider Caribbean poster series: Acropora palmata - Elkhorn coral.

Abstract

The elkhorn and staghorn coral were recently listed as "threatened" under the Endagered Species Act. This listing will allow for greater protection of reefs in general as well as specific measures to conserve these important species. A first step in their conservation is the education of local community members and resource consumers. Posters were developed and distributed to aid in the education process.
