Coral Disease and Health Consortium (CDHC): Diagnostic Metrics,Epidemiology and Capacity Building
The CDHC is unique in CRCP, drawing from public health and medicine to address coral conservation challenges. Activities of the CDHC cross-cut multiple Pillars because each represents important physical, chemical and biological interactions that influence...
Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) Research Data Portal
"A searchable inventory of existing stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) information related to research, surveillance, and intervention activities conducted for susceptible species. What is currently known about the disease, hypotheses derived from ex...
Can telomerase activity serve as an indicator of reproductive senescence?
"We evaluated the potential use of telomerase enzyme activity in stony corals as a method for determining reproductive senescence. Since kits for the detection and quantification of telomerase activity were removed from the market prior to project start, ...
"A video training that provides an overview of the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) Research Data Portal. Topics covered include navigation of the portal website, how to access your projects, and how to search, download, and submit data/metadata re...
Investigating Fertilization Trends in Two Species of Threatened Stony Coral in the Florida Keys
"Acropora cervicornis and Orbicella faveolata are important reef-building coral species in the Florida Reef Tract (FRT). These species have experienced alarming declines throughout the FRT, resulting in an increased risk of inbreeding depression and susce...
NCCOS Assessment: Effects of three pesticides on the survival and settlement behavior of Caribbean coral larvae (NCEI Accession 0303148)
This project investigates the lethal and sublethal effects of three pesticides (Thiamethomoxamine, Dinotefuran, and Acetamiprid) on the survival of the corals Arcropora cervicornis and Orbicella faveolata larvae after 48 hours of exposure and on the settl...
NCCOS Assessment: Post-hurricane assessment of chemical contaminants in nearshore waters and marine sediments at two St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) National Parks, 2021-08-16 to 2022-03-07 (NCEI Accession 0303533)
Marine sediment and water column samples were collected in nearshore habitats around the island of St. John, USVI during two sampling trips in late 2021 and early 2022 and following the landfall of two Category 5 hurricanes, Irma (landfall 2017-09-06) and...
