Coral reefs are exceptionally biodiverse, and human dependence on their ecosystem services is high. Reefs experience significant direct indirect anthropogenic pressures, provide a sensitive indicator of coastal ocean health, climate change acidification, with associated implications for society. Monitoring coral reef status trends essential to better inform science, management policy, but the projected collapse systems within few decades makes provision accurate actionable monitoring data...
Abstract Identifying which factors lead to coral bleaching resistance is a priority given the global decline of reefs with ocean warming. During second year back‐to‐back events in Florida Keys 2014 and 2015, we characterized key environmental biological associated resilience threatened reef‐building Orbicella faveolata . Ten (five inshore, five offshore, 179 corals total) were sampled during (September 2015) recovery (May 2016). Corals genotyped 2b RAD profiled for algal symbiont abundance...
Ocean acidification (OA) will result in lower calcification rates for numerous marine taxa, including many species of corals which create important reef habitat. Seawater carbonate chemistry fluctuates over cycles ranging from days to seasons, often driven by biological processes such as respiration and photosynthesis. The magnitude diel fluctuations varies spatially may become more pronounced the future due OA. Due technical constraints, OA experiments that incorporate variability into...
Chronic declines in coral cover across the Florida Reef Tract and Caribbean have spurred widespread propagation efforts for threatened species that once blanketed western Atlantic reefs. Studies on these corals reveal remarkable differences growth rates stress responses among genetically distinct individuals (genets) within same species, indicating potential customizing restoration stock to meet specific goals. However, most of studies been limited a small number genets constrained spatial...
Abstract Ocean acidification (OA) threatens coral reef persistence by decreasing calcification and accelerating the dissolution of frameworks. The carbonate chemistry coastal areas where many reefs exist is strongly influenced metabolic activity underlying benthic community, contributing to high spatiotemporal variability. While characterizing this variability difficult, it has important implications for progression OA ecosystems. Here, we characterized at 38 permanent stations located along...
Abstract Coral cover has declined worldwide due to anthropogenic stressors that manifest on both global and local scales. communities exist in extreme conditions can provide information how these influence ecosystem structure, with implications for their persistence under future conditions. The Port of Miami is located within an urbanized environment, active coastal development, as well commercial shipping recreational boating activity. Monitoring sites throughout the since 2018 revealed...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Integrated Coral Observing Network (ICON), has been operational since 2000 works closely with most US Government many international environmental partners involved in coral reef research. ICON program pioneered the use of artificial intelligence techniques to assess near real-time data streams from environment sensor networks such as SEAKEYS (Florida Keys), Australia Institute Marine Science Weather Network, NOAA's Reef Ecosystem...
Once one of the predominant reef-building corals in region, Acropora cervicornis is now a focal species coral restoration efforts Florida and western Caribbean. Scientists practitioners have been independently collecting phenotypic data on genets A. grown nurseries. While these are important for understanding intraspecific response to varying environmental conditions, thus potential genetic contribution variation, isolation observations limited use large-scale, multi- institution that...
