Implementing the Florida Keys Coral Disease Response & Restoration Initiative: Number of coral outplants by species from 2020-01-01 to 2020-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0243435)

Preview graphic

This dataset consist of a spreadsheet containing 10,000 coral outplants, including but not limited to species Acropora cervicornis, Acropora palmata, Orbicella faveolata, Pseudodiploria clivosa and Montastraea cavernosa. These outplant data took place under the first year of the initiative by Mote Marine Laboratory, from 2020-01-01 to 2020-12-31 located in the Florida Keys. Mote Marine Laboratory continues to monitor each outplant one month post-outplant event, one year, three year and five years to monitor the survivorship of corals over time. As these coral species were outplanted in 2020, not all of the data is from 2020 as the survivorship data go into 2024.

Supplemental Information	In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number.
Purpose	These data were collected to support the study of coral disease response and restoration in the Florida Keys. The 6 goals for each year of this initiative include: 1. Propagation of 8,800 corals through asexual fragmentation, raising of 1,200 sexual recruits, and outplanting 10,000 "seedlings" of diverse endemic coral species 2. Monitoring and assessing the survival of outplanted corals under baseline conditions and within the context of the stony coral tissue loss disease 3. Assessing ecosystem recovery of coral restoration sites, 4. Conducting necessary analytical research for identification of genetic resilience of endemic coral species with 5. Targeting sexual cross-propagation of resilient genotypes to increase genetic diversity and resilience of the coral restoration "pipeline," and 6. Implementation of coral disease response and restoration public education and outreach.

Processing Steps	Parameter or Variable: # of coral outplants by species (measured); Units: Outplants; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Photo-Identification Techniques; Sampling and Analyzing Method: All coral outplants will be visually evaluated for health and land-based corals will be approved by certified veterinarian prior to out-planting. After a Release Authorization is issued by FWC for each health assessment on the land-based corals, coral outplants will be transported from the nursery to outplant sites using previously demonstrated methods that ensure that corals are protected from any injury, direct sunlight, or additional stress, and will keep fragments from similar genotypes clearly identified. Monitoring of outplanted branching corals will be conducted at 1 month and again between 6-12 months after outplanting. Outplants will be visually assessed by divers at all outplant location sites by a diver swimming around a site, relocating each array, collecting data on each array, and photographing the array with the tag visible.
