Miller, NOAA, National Marine Fisheries Service, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Protected Resources Division originator IMAGES AND SPREADSHEET This record refers to ongoing population surveys of corallivorous snail, C. abbreviata, and two of its coral hosts, Acropora palmata, and Montastraea spp at six reef sites (three open and three in no-take zones) in the upper Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Surveys are conducted annually in Apr-May. A set number of colonies of each host is searched for snails. Each colony is measured and condition is noted (percent live tissue cover as well as incidence of disease or other conditions). All snails are enumerated, measured, and then returned to the colony on which they were found. These long term surveys are designed to document status and trends of A. palamta and C.abbreviata populations. underDevelopment ANTICIPATE CONTINUING ANNUAL SURVEY INTERVAL.
