Diver-Based Structure-from-Motion imagery from coral reef restoration surveys in the Lower Florida Keys: July 2022 and July 2023
During the summers of 2022 and 2023, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers conducted underwater surveys aimed at quantifying the impact that past coral restoration by Mote Marine Laboratory had on the reef-accretion process. The surveys were conducted along paired transects representing restored and non-restored areas of eight offshore reefs and three patch-reef sites in the Lower Florida Keys. At each location on each reef, USGS researchers collected images (39,480 images in total) that were used to ... |

Seafloor Elevation Change from 2017 to 2019 at Looe Key, Florida Keys—Impacts from Hurricane Irma
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted research to quantify bathymetric changes at Looe Key Reef, Florida (FL) within a 26.59 square kilometer-area over the reef proper, and surrounding areas. USGS staff used light detection and ranging (lidar) data acquired by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 2018 and 2019 (only the data from 2019 were used in analysis) following the passage of Hurricane Irma. An elevation change analysis ... |

Carbonate Budgets, Structure-from-Motion Products, and Topographic Complexity Measurements From Restored and Non-Restored Areas of Coral Reefs in the Lower Florida Keys
During the summers of 2022 and 2023, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers conducted underwater surveys aimed at quantifying the impact that past coral restoration by Mote Marine Laboratory had on the reef-accretion process. The surveys were conducted along paired transects representing restored and non-restored areas of eight offshore reefs and three patch-reef sites in the Lower Florida Keys. At each location on each reef, USGS researchers conducted photographic surveys (these images are published in ... |
