| 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, Crocker Reef (Key Largo, FL) FKNMS, Sombrero Reef (Marathon, FL) Dry Tortugas National Park (Key West, FL) | ||||||||
| Summary | Measured buoyant mass of n = 40 colonies of Porites astreoides and n = 20 Acropora cervicornis, and dry mass of crustose coralline algae gained on n = 40 tiles from Fowey Rocks, Crocker Reef, Sombrero Reef, and Dry Tortugas National Park. Maintenance of stations completed. Downloaded underwater temperature data from Fowey, Crocker, Sombrero Reef, and Dry Tortugas National Park covering last six months. Downloaded underwater temperature data from Pulaski Shoal covering last six months. Took underwater photographs. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for corals Porites astreoides and Acropora cervicornis and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. | ||||||||
