| 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 | Sampling of Porites astreoides colonies occurred 4-17-17 to 4-27-17 for all four sites. Elizabeth Lenz from University of Hawaii was with us to sample P. astreoides tissue for genetics, zooxanthella clade, and fecundity. All sampling in DRTO, including set-up of Acropora palmata, occurred 4-23-17 to 4-25-2017. Acropora palmata set-up for main Keys sites occurred 5-3-17 to 5-7-17. | ||||||||
| 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. Porites astreoides coral samples for geochemical, growth, fecundity, zoox identity, and other analyses. | ||||||||
| Comments | "Other" Staffing: Elizabeth Lenz, NSF GRIP intern from University of Hawaii, accompanied us on both sampling trips. "Other" equipment used to sample corals: tile saw and water-pick.
