This data release compiles data collected on the late Holocene and living coral composition of Pompano Ridge. The data are described in detail in Modys and others (in prep). The samples were collected under Scientific Activity Licenses (SAL) from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (SAL-18-1650(A)-SRP) and with permission from Broward County Environmental Protection & Growth Management. Purpose: The data were collected for a study (Modys and others, in prep) aimed at determining how late Holocene coral reefs at Pompano Ridge compared with living assemblages.

Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: No formal positional accuracy tests were conducted. The horizontal coordinates were collected in the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS 84) coordinate system. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: No formal positional accuracy tests were conducted. The vertical positions were collected in the mean sea level coordinate system, with a resolution of 0.1 meters. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: To determine the taxonomic composition of the late Holocene coral assemblages, surveys were conducted along 16 shore-parallel, line-intercept transects (60-m long) distributed haphazardly across the full extent of the coral rubble zone as determined by Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA)-based ground-truthing and examination of high-resolution bathymetric data. Surficial coral rubble and dead massive colonies encountered every 5 centimeters (cm) were identified to the lowest taxonomic level recognizable without physically breaking them apart or removing algal and other encrusting overgrowths. Sub-surface coral rubble was also collected from 50-cm diameter pits excavated at a random point along each transect. Coral fragments were removed from each pit until a 2-liter mesh bag was filled (pit depths between 30 and 60 cm). Coral rubble from pit samples was also identified to the lowest taxonomic level and then pooled with data obtained from the line-point intercept transects. To determine how modern assemblages at our study site compare with the late Holocene assemblages within the study area at Pompano Ridge, live coral abundance data was collected along the same 16 transects in the summer of 2018 and the fall of 2019. For each transect, all living corals larger than 4 cm within a 1-m wide belt were identified to the species level and counted by SCUBA divers.
