Habitat characterization of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve south using photographic and quadrat methods.
We supply habitat characterization data along a single randomly oriented transect at each of 16 sampling stations in the Tortugas South Ecological Reserve. This information is collected from multiple stations on an intermittent or biennial basis.
Assess/monitor effects of MPA status on reef fish populations and spawning aggregations in the Tortugas Ecological Reserves
We supply abundance information of fish species along multiple randomly oriented transects at the lowest possible taxonomic level. This information is collected from multiple stations on an annual or biennial basis.
Spawning aggregations are an important event in the life-history of many coral reef fish species. During short time periods (typically during full moons), fish will aggregate to spawn at discrete locations along a coral reef tract. Locations of historic...

Changes in growth, vitality, and habitat value of Acropora cervicornis in the US Caribbean
The project was planned to document the habitat value of Acropora cervicornis, staghorn coral, colonies or stands/thickets as they changed in configuration through growth and disturbance. Research addressed environmental condition and productivity of A. c...

NOAA Point Shapefile - 100m2 Fish Density of Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, United States, R/V Manta, ROV Cruise, 2012, WGS84
The design of this field mission is three fold: (1) to spatially characterize the distribution, abundance and size of both reef fishes and macro invertebrates within and around the waters of the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary, (2) to relate this...
