| 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, Sombrero Reef (Marathon, FL) Dry Tortugas National Park (Key West, FL) | ||||||||
| Summary | Field activity was split into three trips because of weather. Nov 4 - Fowey Rocks Nov 5 - Crocker Reef Nov 10 - Sombrero Reef Dec 6 to Dec 8 - Pulaski Shoal Light (PLS) and Pulaski Shoal West (PLW). During this phase of the trip we set up 10 new blocks at PLW with help from NPS. | ||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||
