Installation of coral calcification monitoring station data of field activity 09CBC01 (H-1-09-FL) in Key Largo, FLMolasses Reef from 04/10/2009 to 04/14/2009 Organization United States Geological Survey, Florida Integrated Science Center, Saint Petersburg (Coastal and Marine Geology Program) Project/Theme Coral Reef Ecosystem Studies Chief Scientist Ilsa Kuffner Activity Type Installation of coral calcification monitoring station Platform Halimeda Area of Operation Key Largo, FL, Florida Reef, Florida Location map Bounding Coordinates 31.75000 -87.75000     -78.25000 23.75000 Ports LEAVE Key Largo, FL ARRIVE Key Largo, FL Dates 04/10/2009 (JD 100) to 04/14/2009 (JD 104) Analog Materials No analog holdings. Index map Information Specialist Ilsa Kuffner Crew Don Hickey Jordon Sanford Purpose The goal of this new effort is to document current and future calcification rates as seawater conditions continue to change due to sea surface warming and ocean acidification. Information to be Derived Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Siderastrea siderea and crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Summary Initial mass of n = 10 colonies of Siderastrea siderea Notes The stations will be used to monitor coral growth rates in the Florida Keys, with sites stretching from Fowey Rocks in Biscayne National Park, south to Dry Tortugas National Park. Version 2.1 Got Help? For 09CBC01, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, contract, days at sea, dive count, equipment used, funding, kms of navigation, national plan, NGDC Info, owner, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
