Title: Acropora nursery operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands 2012 annual report.
Entry Type: Published Work.
Abstract: "Both Acropora cervicornis and A. palmata have suffered dramatic declines throughout the entire Caribbean over the last few decades (Bruckner, 2002) which led to the inclusion of these species as 'Threatened' under the Endangered Species Act in 2005. As a result of this decline, adult population s typically have low densities and genetic diversity, . . .

Title: Backscatter imagery in Jobos Bay
Entry Type: Metadata Record.
Abstract: This image represents a 1x1 meter resolution backscatter mosaic of Jobos Bay, Puerto Rico (in NAD83 UTM 19 North). The backscatter values are in relative 8-bit (0 – 255) numbers, since the SoNAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) sensor was not calibrated. Different benthic habitat types were delineated and classified from this backscatter image.
