| 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 | We documented and repaired damage to calcification station blocks that were dislodged by Hurricane Irma. We weighed, photographed, and measured coral colonies that survive. Collected and swapped algae tiles. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for corals Acropora palmata and Acropora cervicornis and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. We also did hurricane Irma impact assessments using NOAA protocol. | ||||||||
