Primary purpose is a site visit to coral calcification monitoring stations to place corals for coral calcification rate measurements - extending the coral-calcification assessment network to another NPS unit in the U.S. Virgin Islands: Buck Island Reef National Monument (BUIS). Staff will place new Acropora palmata colonies at existing stations to measure calcification rate.
Location
Buck Island Reef National Monument, St. Croix, USVI
