| Purpose | Site visit to coral calcification monitoring station to measure coral and algal calcification rates. | ||||||||
| Location | Dry Tortuguas National Park | ||||||||
| Summary | Measured buoyant mass of n = 10 colonies of Siderastrea siderea, and dry mass of crustose coralline algae gained on n = 10 tiles. Maintenance of stations. Set-up of new stations for Montastraea faveolata and Acropora cervicornis | ||||||||
| Info derived | Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Siderastrea siderea and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. | ||||||||
