| Purpose | Site visit to coral calcification monitoring stations to measure coral and algal calcification rates | ||||||||
| Location | Biscayne National Park, Fowey Rocks Light (Homestead, FL) FKNMS, Crocker Reef (Islamorada, FL) FKNMS, Molasses Reef (Key Largo, FL) FKNMS, Sombrero Reef (Marathon, FL) Dry Tortugas National Park (Key West, FL) | ||||||||
| Summary | Data were collected at the five sites including underwater temperature, and calcification rate of corals and algae. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for corals Montastraea faveolata and Acropora cervicornis and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. | ||||||||
