Title: Artificial Reef Program
Entry Type: Web Page.
Abstract: "Artificial reef development in Florida began in the late 1970's when increased numbers of state funded and sponsored projects were conducted and more dependable funding sources began to be established. However, consistent annual reef funding at the state level was unavailable until 1986. Today, approximately 70-100 public artificial reefs are constructed . . .

Title: Asexual propagation in the coral reef macroalga Halimeda (Chlorophyta, Bryopsidales): production, dispersal and attachment of small fragments.
Entry Type: Article.
Abstract: Siphonous, green macroalgae of the genus Halimeda are ubiquitous and ecologically important in tropical and subtropical marine environments. It has been hypothesized that the abundance of Halimeda on coral reefs is in part due to the ability of this genus to propagate asexually via vegetative fragmentation. However, vegetative fragmentation has only . . .

Title: Assess and monitor coral reef MPAs: Summary of FY2011 Activities
Entry Type: Technical Report.
Abstract: "The FY11 goals of this project were to continue long-term monitoring efforts of coral reef fish and habitat in the FL Keys and the Dry Tortugas region. Results are used to (1) assess the effects of marine reserves and other management zones in the FL Keys and Tortugas regions, and (2) improve understanding of ecosystem dynamics and guide ecosystem . . .

Title: Assessing evidence of phase shifts from coral to macroalgal dominance on coral reefs.
Entry Type: Article.
Abstract: "Many marine scientists have concluded that coral reefs are moving toward or are locked into a seaweed-dominated state. However, because there have been no regional- or global-scale analyses of such coral reef "phase shifts," the magnitude of this phenomenon was unknown. We analyzed 3581 quantitative surveys of 1851 reefs performed between 1996 and . . .

Title: Assessing the accuracy of acoustic seabed classification for mapping coral reef environments in South Florida (Broward County, USA)
Entry Type: Article.
Abstract: "The Atlantic coast of Broward County, Florida (USA) is paralleled by a series of progressively deeper, shore-parallel coral reef communities. Two of these reef systems are drowned early Holocene coral reefs of 5 ky and 7 ky uncorrected radiocarbon age. Despite the ease of access to these reefs, and their major contribution to the local economy, accurate . . .

Title: An Assessment of Chemical Contaminants in the Marine Sediments of Southwest Puerto Rico
Entry Type: Technical Report.
Abstract: Coral reefs are among the most productive and diverse ecosystems in the world (Bryant et al., 1998). They occur in tropical and semitropical oceans and are home to thousands of species of fish, corals, crustaceans and molluscs. Coral reefs provide a variety of goods and services ranging from commercial and subsistence fi sheries, tourism and recreation, . . .

Title: Assessment of fish populations and habitat on Oculina Bank, a deep-sea coral marine protected area off eastern Florida
Entry Type:
Abstract: "A portion of the Oculina Bank located off eastern Florida is a marine protected area (MPA) preserved for its dense populations of the ivory tree coral (Oculina varicosa), which provides important habitat for fish. Surveys of fish assemblages and benthic habitat were conducted inside and outside the MPA in 2003 and 2005 by using remotely operated vehicle . . .

Abstract: The remaining elkhorn coral populations in the Florida Keys is faced with a variety of natural and anthropogenic pressures that threaten population level recovery including disease, predation, fragmentation and overgrowth by sponges and algae. The objective of this project is to determine the relative importance of each 'threat' among the remaining . . .

Title: An assessment of unreported boat grounding damage to shallow-water corals in the Florida Keys [electronic resource] / by Steven J. Lutz.
Entry Type: Published Work.
Abstract: "The serious physical damage to corals from the occasional large ship grounding is a highly visible and major impact to coral reefs in the Florida Keys. However, smaller vessels continuously damage corals. Unreported damage caused by small vessels that are able to leave a grounding incident under their own power is underestimated.

Title: Attributing mortality among drivers of population decline in Acropora palmata in the Florida Keys (USA)

Abstract: "Acropora palmata populations have experienced steep declines over the past 30 years. Although numerous culprits are recognized, their relative contributions to the decline are poorly quantified, making it difficult to prioritize effective conservation measures. In 2004, a demographic monitoring program was implemented in the Florida Keys (USA), aimed . . .
