This is an on‐going monitoring project with thrice yearly surveys in the upper Florida Keys, annual surveys in Curaçao (2006‐2015) and only episodic surveys in Navassa (2006, 2009, 2012). Study units are 150 m2 plots in which all attached Acropora palmata colonies are mapped and surveyed each year. In Florida, individually tagged A. palmata colonies are surveyed more frequently to document their condition. Based on these observations, we can estimate basic population parameters including recruitment, growth and mortality, along with the causes of recent tissue mortality and the sources of recruitment (asexual or sexual). All monitored colonies were genotyped in Florida in 2006 and 2010 such that clones within the population are identified. Only tagged colonies were genotyped in Curaçao. To quantify demographic rates (recruitment and mortality) and sources of mortality in remnant populations of Acropora palmata in the upper Florida Keys, Navassa Island, and reference populations in Curacao completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded NCEI Accession 0142175 was revised and a new version of the archival package was published.
