| Purpose | Site visit to coral calcification monitoring stations to measure coral and algal calcification rates as well as collect CTD, dissolved O2, wave sensor data and temperature data. | ||||||||
| Location | Dry Tortugas National Park (Key West, FL), Biscayne National Park (Miami, FL) | ||||||||
| Summary | Site visit to coral calcification monitoring stations to assess coral health status, collect temperature, DO, and wave sensor data, and recover algae tile samples. Because corals were all dead, we did not collect coral calcification data. Photographic imagery was also collected. Completed. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Acropora palmata and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. Conductivity, temperature and depth. dissolved oxygen. Wave sensor data. | ||||||||
| Comments | Other equipment for Dissolved Oxygen is - Hobo dissolved Oxygen data logger U26-001 Other equipment for the Wave Sensor is - RBR SoloD.wave Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2023-316-FA. | ||||||||
