 Year "Two pins were secured in a Diploria strigosa (brain coral) coral head and tagged and mapped.  Stations were photographed each year and growth changes were measured.  Areas were then compared to the previous year to determine growth, retreat, or no change."
 Position bank id
 station data from which station
 % change cm2 the difference between years (cm2) divided by the total area of the slide (262.01 cm2). 
 A-NC-R "A or ad is advancement growth, nc is no change, and r or rt is retreated growth."
