National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Assessment of coral reef benthic communities in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary

Data provided in this collection were gathered within the FGBNMS as part of NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)-led missions in collaboration with partners at NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries FGBNMS, NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Southeast Fisheries Science Center and Texas A&M. 
      
This benthic data collection for the ongoing National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) consists of two survey types: the Line Point-Intercept (LPI) method and the Coral Demographic method. The LPI method provides a measure of percent cover of biotic and abiotic components of the benthos in a stratified random sampling design in hardbottom and coral reef habitats. LPI surveys are concurrent with and along the same transect as fish surveys. The coral demographics protocol provides more detailed and species-specific insight (âsignal magnitudeâ) for coral populations than is provided by percent cover.

National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Calcification Rates of Crustose Coralline Algae Derived from Calcification Accretion Units (CAUs) Deployed at the Flower Garden Banks in 2015 and Retrieved in 2019

The calcification rate data described here are from calcification accretion units (CAUs) that have been retrieved (and replaced) at existing, long-term monitoring sites during the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) led NCRMP missions at the Flower Garden Banks in 2015 and 2019 and processed at the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. CAUs are PVC settlement plates that facilitate the recruitment and colonization of crustose coralline algae, hard corals, and other reef calcifiers. Laboratory experiments show that CCA and coral calcification rates are strongly correlated with seawater chemistry, and shifts in carbonate chemistry conditions due to ocean acidification could lead to reduced calcification and accretion rates and ecological phase shifts in coral reef communities. Coral reef calcium carbonate accretion rates can be estimated by measuring the change in weight of the CAUs between deployment and retrieval. Monitoring net accretion over successive deployments allows for the detection of changes in reef calcification rates over time. Five units were deployed on the seafloor at each CAU site for 4 years. The number of processed CAUs for a site may be less than the number deployed, either because the units were lost or damaged at sea and therefore not recovered, or in rare instances, due to errors during laboratory processing. This study provides information about spatial and temporal patterns of reef carbonate calcification and accretion rates and serves as a basis for detecting changes associated with changing seawater chemistry due to ocean acidification. These data can also be used in comparative analyses across natural gradients, thereby assisting efforts to determine whether key reef-building taxa can acclimatize to changing oceanographic environments. These data will have immediate, direct impacts on predictions of reef resilience in a higher carbon dioxide (CO2) world and on the design of reef management strategies.

Laboratory experiment, the number of clams consumed by the fish of FLORIDA POMPANO in experimental tanks feeding on coquina clams individually and in groups from 2013-11-26 to 2013-12-03 (NCEI Accession 0127553)

This dataset includes the results from a laboratory experiment assessing whether juvenile Florida Pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) foraging success is greater when in groups of multiple fish or when feeding alone. Florida Pompano were given coquina clams (Donax sp.) as a prey source, a main component of their natural diet in the north-central Gulf of Mexico. These data accompany the following peer-reviewed publication title: Facilitation and dominance in a schooling predator: foraging behavior of Florida Pompano, Trachinotus carolinus.

Presumably an individual's risk of predation is reduced by group membership and this "safety in numbers" concept has been readily applied to investigations of schooling prey; however, foraging in groups may also be beneficial. We tested the hypothesis that, when feeding in groups, foraging of a coastal fish (Florida Pompano, Trachinotus carolinus) on a benthic prey source would be facilitated (i.e., fish feeding in groups will consume more prey items). Although this question has been addressed for other fish species, it has not been previously addressed for Florida Pompano, a fish known to exhibit schooling behavior and that is used for aquaculture, where understanding the feeding ecology is important for healthy and efficient grow-out. In this experiment, juvenile Florida Pompano were offered a fixed number of coquina clams (Donax spp.) for one hour either in a group or as individuals. The following day they were tested in the opposite configuration. Fish in groups achieved greater consumption (average of 26 clams consumed by the entire group) than the individuals comprising the group (average of 14 clams consumed [sum of clams consumed by all individuals of the group]). Fish in groups also had fewer unsuccessful foraging attempts (2.75 compared to 4.75 hr-1) and tended to have a shorter latency until the first feeding activity. Our results suggest fish in groups were more comfortable feeding and more successful in their feeding attempts. Interestingly, the consumption benefit of group foraging was not shared by all - not all fish within a group consumed equal numbers of clams. Taken together, the results support our hypothesis that foraging in a group provides facilitation, but the short-term benefits are not equally shared by all individuals.

Ecological studies in the Bays and other waterways near Little Egg Inlet and in the Ocean in the vicinity of the proposed site for the Atlantic Generating Station, New Jersey (NCEI Accession 7500270)

In September, 1971, Ichthyological Associates began an ecological study of Ocean sites off Long Beach Island and Little Egg Inlet, New Jersey, for Public Service Electric and Gas Company. After 1 March 1972, sampling was restricted to the vicinity of the proposed Site of the Atlantic Generating Station (AGS).

The AGS is to be located approximately 2.8 statute miles off the coastline (off Little Egg Inlet) at 39 degree -28' - 20" N latitude and 74 degree - 15' - 20" W longitude. Two 1150 MWe nuclear generating units will be on floating barges and protected by a large semicircular, rubblemound breakwater.

The first objective of the study was to identify and describe the biota of the area both spatially and temporally. Subsequently, the Site was examined to determine if it was unique biologically from the surrounding area. This was done in part of the benthic program by comparing a transect (inshore-offshore) across the Site with ones north, south, and seaward of the Site.

This progress reports covers the period January through December, 1973. Quantitative data were obtained whenever possible and were statistically analyzed to relate information on populations at the Site to those from surrounding areas. Species discussions are presented which summarize biological findings for most of the important forms in the area.

The report is organized into three volumes. This volume contains data on epifauna, algae, benthic invertebrates, and a discussion and distribution maps of important species of fish and macro-invertebrates. A point summary for the first three sections above is included on page 12 to page 15 in Volume 1. Physiochemical data pertinent to all biological collections in 1973 is included on page 19 to 24 in Volume 1.

This dataset contains predictions of surface water depth (m) under 200 cm (2 m or 6.6 ft) of sea level rise and three storm scenarios by 2100. Estimates of associated socioeconomic impacts are also included. These predictions were completed in the area of Santa Monica Bay, California, specifically Venice Beach and Marina Del Rey. The model domain included ten different modeled infrastructure types to better understand the impact of natural and nature-based features (NNBFs) and conventional infrastructure to reduce sea level rise-driven flood hazards.

Sea level rise scenario: 200 cm (2 m or 6.6 ft) by 2100.

Storm scenarios: no storm, annual storm event, 20-year storm event, 100-year storm event.

Modeled infrastructure types: no action (no change from current), targeted dunes, dunes in locations with elevation below 4 m NAVD88, dunes in locations with elevation below 5 m NAVD88, sea wall, sluice gate, sluice gate + targeted dune, sluice gate + dunes in locations with elevation below 4 m NAVD88, sluice gate + dunes in locations with elevation below 5 m NAVD88, sluice gate + sea wall.

The following physical and socio-economic impacts were calculated for each modeled infrastructure type within each storm scenario: flood area, flood volume, total economic damages, residential economic damages, nonresidential economic damages, total displaced population, displaced child population, displaced senior population, displaced minority population, displaced low-income population, low construction cost estimate, high construction cost estimate, benefit-cost ratio based on low construction cost estimate, benefit-cost ratio based on high construction cost estimate.

The file naming convention is a combination of sea level rise height (in cm), the storm scenario, and the modeled infrastructure type. For additional details, please see the data files section.
