| Purpose | Scientific Purpose/Goals Site visit to existing coral calcification monitoring stations to deploy new coral species; install new station at Crocker Reef and deploy new coral species. | ||||||||
| Location | Area of Operation Biscayne National Park, Fowey Rocks Light (Homestead, FL) FKNMS, Molasses Reef (Key Largo, FL) FKNMS, Sombrero Reef (Marathon, FL) | ||||||||
| Summary | Measured buoyant mass of n = 10 colonies each species each site, and dry mass of crustose coralline algae gained on n = 10 tiles. Maintenance of station. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Montastraea faveolata and Acropora cervicornis and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. | ||||||||
