• Description:
  This report details the findings from extensive survey efforts conducted on reefs in the upper Florida Keys to characterize the abundance and distribution of genotypes for the ESA-listed coral species Acropora palmata. Between 2019 and 2023, we collected a total of 233 samples from A. palmata colonies present at reef sites spanning 50km of the Florida Reef Tract in the upper Florida Keys.
