Purpose
|
Foram samples along south Molokai reef;
reconnaissance and push core collection in blue holes; recon of Lanai reef;
coral samples from south Molokai and Lanai reefs
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Changes to ecosystem health along-coast; sedimentation history of blue holes;
genetic variability of coral species
|
|
|
Summary
|
Survey of foraminifera to determine changes along-coast; grain size analysis
and chemistry of blue hole sediment to determine sedimentation history; genetic
sequencing of corals to determine genetic variability between species and reef
locations
