Description and discussion of Southeast Florida fishery landings, 1990-2000
The Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative (SEFCRI) was established as a local action strategy in 2003 to better manage coral reefs in southeastern Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin counties). To support that effort, we profiled all co...
Resilience in carbonate production despite three coral bleaching events in 5 years on an inshore patch reef in the Florida Keys
"The persistence of coral reef frameworks requires that calcium carbonate (CaCO3) production by corals and other calcifiers outpaces CaCO3 loss via physical, chemical, and biological erosion. Coral bleaching causes declines in CaCO3 production, but this v...
Prediction of coral bleaching in the Florida Keys using remotely sensed data
"Shallow water tropical coral reefs may bleach due to extremes in a variety of environmental factors. Of particular concern have been temperature, ultraviolet radiation, and photosynthetically available radiation. Satellite observation systems allow synop...
Adaptation to local thermal regimes by crustose coralline algae does not affect rates of recruitment in coral larvae
"Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are well known for their ability to induce settlement in coral larvae. While their wide distribution spans reefs that differ substantially in temperature regimes, the extent of local adaptation to these regimes and the impa...
