Field Activity 2022-313-FA

Identifier 2022-313-FA
Purpose Site visit and new setup of coral calcification monitoring stations to measure coral and algal calcification rates.
Location Dry Tortugas National Park (Key West, FL)
Summary Completed a site visit and new setup of coral calcification monitoring stations to measure coral and algal calcification rates in the Dry Tortugas NP. Info derived was mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Acropora palmata and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for past 6 months. Conductivity, temperature and depth. Dissolved Oxygen.
