Abstract:
To better understand how ocean acidification affects coral reef systems, a suite of observations from the NOAA moored autonomous pCO2 buoy (MapCO2) in La Parguera Marine Reserve in combination with long-track (underway) oceanographic measurements of near-shore surface water were analyzed and collected. This research is part of a new project to identify coral reefs that are at risk of dissolving. The long-term goal of this initiative is to aid in the development of early warning and management policies on small tropical islands.
