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...
Effects of trap fishing on coral reefs and associated habitats in the Florida Keys [Project title: trap_impacts_studiesFL.mxd]
We conducted surveys of trap distributions, targeted habitats, trap damage to coral reefs and associated habitats, and spatial/temporal distribution of catches. Field work was conducted with local partners: FWCC in Florida Keys (this data set); UPR-M in P...

Biological data collected from plankton collecting gear aboard the NOAA Ship NANCY FOSTER during cruise #NF0705, March 30th - April 10th, 2007 as part of the Coral Reef Ecosystem Research (CRER) project and from inshore larval collections in Brewer's Bay,...
Fisheries-Independent Biological and Environmental Trawl Data from the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and the University of Southern Mississippi's Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (1973-2005) as Part of the Comparative Assessment of Gulf Estuarine Systems (CAGES) Database (NODC Accession 0115183)
The CAGES program (Comparative Assessment of Gulf Estuarine Systems) is designed to examine the differences between estuarine ecosystems and investigate why some are more productive than others. The program focuses on estuarine areas important to commerci...
Ichthyoplankton (biological) data collected aboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter during cruise 0701
Ichthyoplankton (biological) data from cruise 0701 from the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, Belize, and South Florida. Data is housed in a spreadsheet database (Excel) format for use of members of the Early Life History (ELH) group.
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...

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.
CRCP-Surveillance of wild and outplanted A. cervicornis from 2011-04-16 to 2012-11-03 (NCEI Accession 0159175)
This data set contains surveillance of disease and predation conditions on staghorn coral (A.cervicornis). Surveys at multiple sites with colonies were conducted every 2 to 4 weeks during two summer seasons to document disease and predation prevalence and...
