An Informational Guide to Common Stony Corals of Florida
EDIS, 2018 The following information is meant to be a guide to Scleractinian (stony) corals of Florida. All corals presented in this paper are in a protected status under Florida’s Coral Reef Protection Act and several of these species are federally protected ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Since the appearance of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) on reefs off Miami in 2014, this unprecedented outbreak has spread across the entirety of Florida’s coral reef tract, as well as to many territories throughout the Caribbean.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In 2014, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) was first detected off the coast of Miami, FL, United States, and continues to persist and spread along the Florida Reef Tractr (FRT) and into the Caribbean.

Northern Florida reef tract benthic metabolism scaled by remote sensing [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2006 Holistic rates of excess organic carbon production (E) and calcification for a 0.5 km 2 segment of the backreef platform of the northern Florida reef tract (NFRT) were estimated by com- bining biotope mapping using remote sensing with community metabolic rates determined with a benthic incubation system. The use of ASTER multispectral satellite imaging

Biotic homogenization of coral assemblages along the Florida reef tract [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2012 We tested the hypothesis that coral assemblages along the Florida reef tract have recently become more biologically homogeneous than they were in the past. We used a database that consisted of a probabilistic, 2 stage, stratified-random survey design to assess the condition of stony corals every summer from 2005 to 2010.

Disturbances drive changes in coral community assemblages and coral calcification capacity
Ecosphere, 2020 Anthropogenic environmental change has increased coral reef disturbance regimes in recent decades, altering the structure and function of many coral reefs globally.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The Holocene reefs off southeast Florida provide unique insights into the biogeographical and ecological response of western Atlantic coral reefs to past climate change that can be used to evaluate future climate impacts.

Effectiveness of topical antibiotics in treating corals affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Since 2014, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has led to mass mortality of the majority of hard coral species on the Florida Reef Tract. Following the successful treatment of SCTLD lesions on laboratory corals using water dosed with antibiotics ...

Deep water macroalgal communities adjacent to the Florida Keys reef tract [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2008 A combination of remotely operated vehicle and SCUBA dives at 40 to 80 m depth seaward of the Florida Keys reef tract revealed extensive areas of the seafloor dominated by communities of large benthic macroalgae. Macroalgal cover exceeded 80% in many areas where the substratum was dominated by coral and shell fragments and calcareous cobbles ...
