Survivorship of restored Acropora palmata fragments over six years at the M/V Fortuna Reefer ship grounding site, Mona Island, Puerto Rico
Patterns of survivorship of restored Acropora palmata fragments generated by the Fortuna Reefer ship grounding off Mona Island were examined over six years. Fragments (n=1857) were secured to the reef or dead standing colonies (skeletons) using wire withi...
Variability of Hawaiian reef accretion and El Nino over the holocene epoch
The authors conclude that less ENSO activity resulted in fewer and smaller severe wave events in Hawaii during early-mid Holocene times. Thus enabling reef accretion in areas where it is precluded by large North Pacific swell and hurricane-generated waves...
