Description:

"Reproduction is paramount for a populations' survival, however percent live coral cover and species abundance are predominant metrics to assess reef health and determine ESA listing status. Preliminary data from reproductive condition assessments of Acropora palmata indicate that a portion of colonies appearing sound, are in fact sterile or reproductively impaired; thus 'dead' from a population and evolutionary perspective--coral 'zombies'. This epidemiological assessment of reproductive condition of A. palmata will provide understanding of the prevalence of this condition in a geographic context, and in so doing also pinpoint reproductively successful (resilient) populations. This project directly relates to the Acropora Recovery Plan (draft) needs for recovery of the species."
