Description:

"Survey results from 2012 add to a growing dataset on the distribution, abundance, size, and condition of benthic coral reef organisms in Biscayne National Park (BNP) and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). For many of the variables assessed, we have now developed a 13-year record dating back to 1998 to evaluate benthic community structure and change for a variety of hard-bottom and coral reef habitats in the Florida Keys, in addition to comparisons among management areas such as Sanctuary no-take zones. Our monitoring is also conducted to address the larger-scale habitat variability of coral reef and hard-bottom habitats found throughout the Florida Keys. This larger perspective allows us to interpret results from no-take-zones within the context of natural system variability and the various factors that can impact hard-bottom and coral reef communities. Benthic surveys completed in 2012 in the Florida Keys included Acropora corals, non-Acropora corals, urchins, anemones, corallimorpharians, mollusks, and marine debris. We have previously sampled the upper, middle, and lower Florida Keys three times in the last eleven years, with additional periodic efforts conducted in-between that focus regionally or on a subset of our total benthic variable list"--Conclusions and future efforts.
