Maximum currents in the Northeast Corridor Reserve during November 2013.
A 2D numerical model, CMS-Flow, was implemented for the Northeast Corridor Reserve (NECR) using a telescoping grid. Tide and wind forcing was provided
to the model and the model was validated using water level data from the Fajardo NOAA NOS tide gauge and...
Time-averaged currents in the Northeast Corridor Reserve during November 2013.
A 2D numerical model, CMS-Flow, was implemented for the Northeast Corridor Reserve (NECR) using a telescoping grid. Tide and wind forcing was provided

Hydrodynamic modeling in support of the development of the Northeast Corridor Reserve Management Plan
"The development of an appropriate management plan for the marine section of the Northeast Corridor Reserve (NECR) requires an understanding of the hydrodynamic forcing of the area and how this forcing affects the spatial distribution of critical biologic...
Pockmarks enhance deep-sea benthic biodiversity: A case study in the western Mediterranean Sea
"Aim Pockmarks are craters on the sea floor formed by sub-sea-floor fluid expulsions, which occur world-wide at all ocean depths. These habitats potentially host a highly specialized fauna that can exploit the hydrocarbons released. Pockmarks at relativel...
Potential Structuring Forces on a Shelf Edge Upper Mesophotic Coral Ecosystem in the US Virgin Islands
Mesophotic coral ecosystems are extensive light-dependent habitats that typically form between 30 and 150 m depth in the tropical oceans. The forces that structure the benthic communities in these ecosystems are poorly understood but this is rapidly chang...
Coral restoration for coastal resilience: Integrating ecology, hydrodynamics, and engineering at multiple scales
The loss of functional and accreting coral reefs reduces coastal protection and resilience for tropical coastlines. Coral restoration has potential for recovering healthy reefs that can mitigate risks from coastal hazards and increase sustainability. Howe...
The deep sea is a major sink for microplastic debris
"Marine debris, mostly consisting of plastic, is a global problem, negatively impacting wildlife, tourism and shipping. However, despite the durability of plastic, and the exponential increase in its production, monitoring data show limited evidence of co...
Informe final del proyecto monitoreo socio-economico en las areas protegidas marinas y costeras de Puerto Rico. Refugio de Vida Silvestre Iris L. Alameda Martinez en Boqueron, Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico
"El Monitoreo Socioeconomico para Areas Marinas Protegidas (SocMon), en el Refugio de Vida Silvestre Iris L. Alameda (RVSILAM), en Boqueron permitio recolectar datos sobre los usos o actividades realizadas y crear un perfil de sus usuarios. Con la recopil...

Southeast Florida Reef Tract Water Quality Assessment
This report summarizes three years of water quality data for the SEFCRI region. Key findings include: The biogeochemical signal of the inlets is readily apparent in near coastal water, and the discharge from the canals generally drives water chemistry to ...
