Coral Cores for selected locations in the Pacific Ocean obtained to determine calcification and extension rates of Porites spp. corals
Laboratory experiments reveal calcification and extension rates of corals are strongly correlated to seawater aragonite saturation state. Predictions of reduced coral calcification rates, due to ocean acidification, suggest that coral reef communities wi...
Hawaii Coral Bleaching Collaborative: surveys for percent and severity of bleached coral cover across the Hawaiian Archipelago from 2019-08-20 to 2019-12-07 (NCEI Accession 0209239)
The data described here result from coral bleaching surveys across the Hawaiian Archipelago from August 20 to December 7, 2019. The data provide information on live coral cover and the percentage and average severity that was bleached, as well as taxa-spe...
Sediment Processes on the Coral Reefs of Kahoolawe: A Rapid Field Assessment in 1993 (NODC Accession 0000883)
The nearshore coral ecosystems of Kahoolawe were rapidly assessed in 1993. Surveys were made of the coral coverage, fish communities, and sediment types from 19 locations. This data has been published in a technical report (Jokiel et. al,1995) and a PhD D...
Coral Reef Ecosystem Data from the 2010-2011 Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area, West Maui, Herbivore Enhancement as a Tool for Reef Restoration Project (NODC Accession 0082869)
This research targets the Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative (HCRI) Priority Area A:
Kahekili, Maui: Herbivore Fisheries Management Area (KHFMA). The project
goal was to evaluate the efficacy of this new management action by developing
a detailed algal produc...
Grain Size Distribution and Fate of Transplanted Corals at Kawaihae, Hawaii: Field work of 1996-1997 (NODC Accession 0001141)
A harbor expansion was planned in the early 1990s for Kawaihae, Hawaii on the northwest shore of the Big Island. To offset the habitat loss, select corals were transplanted. This study looked at the effects of sedimentation on the transplanted and non-tra...
Efforts to create a sustainable environment within the Florida Keys [electronic resource] : requirements for the future / by Kimberly A. Cohen.
"The natural environment of South Florida has been affected by many anthropogenic disturbances, such as nutrient enrichment, soil erosion, pesticide contamination, and algal blooms. Efforts to divert freshwater resources to sustain the more populated area...

Potential effects of ocean acidification on Alaskan corals based on calcium carbonate mineralogy composition analysis (NCEI Accession 0157223)
This dataset contains potential effects of ocean acidification on Alaskan corals based on calcium carbonate mineralogy composition analysis. Effects of ocean acidification (OA) on deep-sea coral habitats in Alaska could be pronounced given the particularl...
