Evaluates participatory mapping for assessing and monitoring coral reef conditions. Occupational divers mapped reef uses/qualities/threats in US Virgin Islands. Reef conditions and qualities varied by geographic location. Proposes management matrix based on results to inform future reef management. Participatory mapping may provide a cost-effective alternative to biological sampling.
