CRCP-Acropora spp. distribution in the upper Florida Keys 2013-2015 (NCEI Accession 0157538). [indicate subset used]. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. Dataset. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0157538. Accessed [date]. This data set is derived from visual surveys by snorkelers using handheld GPS units to map extant live colonies of the threatened corals Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis in the upper Florida Keys. Appropriate habitat strata were targeted and prioritized from habitat maps in 2005. An initial survey was conducted in 2005-2007 of these reef areas. Follow-up surveys are being conducted in 2013-2015 to asses potential substantial changes in distribution and/or abundance in the same reef areas. To provide in-water documentation of distribution and occurrence of Acropora palmata and Acropora cervicornis in the upper Florida Keys 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 notPlanned 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 > LAND SURFACE > GEOMORPHIC LANDFORMS/PROCESSES > COASTAL LANDFORMS > CORAL REEFS theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 17.0 OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 20.8 GPS RECEIVERS > GPS RECEIVERS VISUAL OBSERVATIONS > VISUAL OBSERVATIONS instrument Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Instrument Keywords 17.2 ID 1091 Evaluation of ESA listed Acropora spp. Status and Recovery Actions theme CRCP Project Geographic Information > Ecological Characterization theme CoRIS Discovery EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Coral Diseases EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > ESA Listed Species EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Mapping theme CoRIS Theme Acropora cervicornis Acropora palmata theme ITIS 0157538 157538 theme NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER US DOC; NOAA; NMFS; Southeast Fisheries Science Center; Miami, FL Laboratory theme NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES CORAL CORAL - SPECIES IDENTIFICATION theme NODC DATA TYPES visual observation theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES US DOC; NOAA; NMFS; Southeast Fisheries Science Center; Miami, FL Laboratory theme NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County > Key Largo Dry Rocks (25N080W0039) OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > North Atlantic Ocean > Monroe County (24N081W0020) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida > Monroe County (24N081W0020) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus Coastal Waters Of Florida place NODC SEA AREA NAMES GPS swimmer/diver visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES 2013-2015 temporal CRF Nursery Reef Carysfort Reef Conch Shallow Reef Elbow Reef French Reef Key Largo Molasses Reef Upper Florida Keys 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.

Over the decade-long study, A. palmata showed a cumulative proportional decline of 0.4 –0.7x in colony density across all sites, despite very low levels of outplanting at some sites Data collected in situ by snorkelers using handheld GPS units. Data collected as waypoints (items to be mapped, specifically Acropora spp. colonies) and tracks (signifying the reef area searched). These waypoints and tracks were downloaded via GARMIN software, converted to Excel spreadsheet and then can be imported into GIS for visualization/analyses Data is downloaded from handheld GPS units to a PC and waypoints are associated with individual attributes from field observation sheets. Both these areas can then be uploaded into GIS system.
