Pelagic forms of the brown algae (Phaeophyceae) Sargassum spp. and their conspicuous rafts are defining characteristics Sargasso Sea in western North Atlantic. Given rising temperatures acidity surface ocean, we hypothesized that macrofauna associated with have changed respect to species composition, diversity, evenness, sessile epibiota coverage since studies were conducted 40 years ago. communities sampled along a transect through 2011 2012 compared samples collected Sea, Gulf Stream,...

To address patterns of genetic connectivity in a mass-aggregating marine fish, we analyzed variation mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), microsatellites, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus). We expected to exhibit differentiation among its subpopulations due reproductive behavior retentive oceanographic conditions experienced across the Caribbean basin. All samples were genotyped two markers 9 microsatellite loci, subset 4,234 SNPs. found evidence...
There was a significant inshore to offshore pattern in grouper species composition and density on Florida Keys coral reefs. Red Epinephelus morio black Mycteroperca bonaci were most abundant patch Graysby Cephalopholis cruentata reef types. Density among sites ranged from 0 0·43, 0·26 1·23 100 m −2 for red grouper, graysby, respectively. Grouper exhibited no consistency within similar The densities of correlated significantly with either physical or biotic habitat parameters. observed...

Abstract The natural resources upon which the tourism industry relies are subjected to intense pressure during and post development. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) general method used evaluate potential impacts of a However, EIAs rarely incorporate an EIA-auditing mechanism, or set environmental standards, for evaluating long term proposed development project. Baker's Bay Golf Ocean Club (BBC) serves as coastal case study, where Management Program (EMP) prescribed goals were...
