The overall objectives of this project are to document the dynamics of the remaining Elkhorn populations in the upper Florida Keys and to compare its performance to other Caribbean locations. This is an on-going monitoring project with thrice yearly surveys in the upper Florida Keys and annual surveys in Curaao and only episodic surveys in Navassa (2006, 2009, 2012). Study units are 150 m2 plots in which all attached Acropora palmata colonies are mapped and surveyed each year. In Florida, individually tagged A. palmata colonies are surveyed more frequently to document their condition. Based on these observations, we can estimate basic population parameters including recruitment, growth and mortality, along with the causes of recent tissue mortality and the sources of recruitment (asexual or sexual). All monitored colonies are genotyped such that clones within the population are identified. To quantify demographic rates (recruitment and mortality) and sources of mortality in remnant populations of Acropora palmata in the upper Florida Keys, Navassa Island, and reference populations in Curacao completed Williams, Dana E 305-767-3262 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 Unites States dana.williams@noaa.gov https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dana_Williams3 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Williams, Dana E Website Research Gate Personal Page information Contact by email preferred. custodian annually https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0142175/about/0142175_map.jpg Sampling Map NCEI Accession 0142175 DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 17.0 EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > REEF > CORAL REEF EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > GEOMORPHIC LANDFORMS/PROCESSES > COASTAL LANDFORMS > CORAL REEFS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > BATHYMETRY/SEAFLOOR TOPOGRAPHY > WATER DEPTH theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 17.0 Acanthostracion polygonium Acropora palmata Cliona Coralliophila erosa Stegastes planifrons theme World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA > FLORIDA > FLORIDA KEYS OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > CURACAO OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > CARIBBEAN SEA > NAVASSA ISLAND OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > GULF OF AMERICA place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 20.8 VISUAL OBSERVATIONS > VISUAL OBSERVATIONS instrument Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Instrument Keywords 17.2 Numeric Data Sets > Biology theme CoRIS Discovery 0142175 142175 theme NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER CORAL - CENSUS CORAL - COLONY SIZE CORAL - SPECIES IDENTIFICATION water depth theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS in situ visual observation theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS CORAL REEF STUDIES Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) theme NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS COUNTRY/TERRITORY > Netherlands Antilles > Curacao COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > Elbow Reef (25N080W0020) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > French Reef (25N080W0022) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > Grecian Rocks (25N080W0019) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > Key Largo (25N080W0010) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > Key Largo Dry Rocks (25N080W0039) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > Molasses Reef (25N080W0003) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Navassa Island COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Navassa Island > Navassa Island > Navassa Island (18N075W0001) OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Caribbean Sea OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > North Atlantic Ocean > Florida Reef Tract > Upper Florida Keys > Carysfort Reef (25N080W0013) OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > North Atlantic Ocean > Florida Reef Tract > Upper Florida Keys > Conch Reef (24N080W0011) OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > North Atlantic Ocean > Florida Reef Tract > Upper Florida Keys > Sand Island (25N080W0036) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus Coastal Waters Of Florida place NODC SEA AREA NAMES 1091 Coral Predation Evaluation of ESA listed Acropora spp. Status and Recovery Actions Reef Monitoring and Assessment boring sponge coral coral diseases coral snail damsel fish theme 2004-2018 temporal Gulf of Mexico place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

This data will be utilized in the ongoing efforts and responsibilities of NOAA-Fisheries to assess species' status and promote recovery under the auspices of the US Endangered Species Act. The protocols described in this manual have been developed over a period of five years of focal monitoring of primarily A. palmata in the upper Florida Keys by our team. We have also applied these techniques in Tortola, BVI and Curacao.
