| Purpose | Site visit to coral calcification monitoring stations to measure coral and algal calcification rates as well as collect temperature data from deployed temperature sensors. | ||||||||
| Location | Biscayne National Park (Miami, FL); Hen & Chicken's Reef, FKNMS (Tavernier, FL) | ||||||||
| Summary | Deploy new experiment testing Acropora palmata growth variables of colonies from assisted reproduction vs. founder colonies. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Acropora palmata and crustose coralline algal communities on pvc tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. | ||||||||
