Oceans: NOAA research pinpoints regional differences in expected mass coral bleaching by midcentury
"New projections are providing for the first time detailed, local-scale data on when and where coral reef bleaching will occur in the Caribbean, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. These data can be used by local resource managers to better plan for the effec...
Intraspecific variation in polar and nonpolar metabolite profiles of a threatened Caribbean coral
Research aimed at understanding intraspecific variation among corals could substantially increase understanding of coral biology and improve outcomes of active restoration efforts. Metabolomics is useful for identifying physiological drivers leading to va...
Testing the efficacy of lionfish traps in the northern Gulf of Mexico
Spearfishing is currently the primary approach for removing invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles) to mitigate their impacts on western Atlantic marine ecosystems, but a substantial portion of lionfish spawning biomass is beyond the depth limits of SC...
Developing surface water GPS digital mapping technology to map the spatial distribution of size classes and disease prevalence of Elkhorn coral in the nearshore waters of St. Thomas and St. Croix
Much has been written about the species population status of the now ESA Listed Elkhorn (Acropora palmata) and Staghorn (Acropora cervicornis) corals throughout their range and the decline the two species have suffered over the past three decades from sto...
Status review report of 82 candidate coral species petitioned under the U.S. Endangered Species Act
On October 20, 2009, the Center for Biological Diversity petitioned the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to list 83 coral species as threatened or endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The petition was based on a predicted decline in a...
2007 Palm Beach County Orthorectified photos of the County's estuarine waters including the Lake Worth Lagoon. Used for mapping essential fish habitat (NODC Accession 0061752)
2007 Palm Beach County Mapping Digital Orthorectified photos and Mosaics of 1:10000 scale natural color aerial photography were created. Imagery was flown on June 20 & 22, July 21, and August 4 & 8, 2007. Additionally, there was 1:4800 scale natural co...
