| 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) FKNMS, Looe Key coral nursery (Summerland Key, FL) Dry Tortugas National Park (Key West, FL) | ||||||||
| Summary | Completed site visits at all four sites. Collected underwater temperature data, photographs of corals and algae tiles, mass gained by corals and algae tiles over last six months. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for corals Montastraea faveolata and Acropora cervicornis and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. | ||||||||
