        abstract:  This data set contains both coral demographic data and roving diver surveys conducted on October 9 - 18, 2017 to assess the impacts of Hurricane Irma on sections of the Florida Reef Tract. A total of 57 sites were completed, from Biscayne Bay to the Marquesas. Six of the sites were within Biscayne National Park, with the remainder in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Two types of benthic surveys were conducted: Roving diver surveys to document broad-scale impact types and severity and disease occurrence, including photo and video documentation; Detailed Disturbance Response Monitoring (DRM) 1x10 m belt transects to document demographic information and condition of every coral.
        purpose:  With funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, NOAA and the State of Florida convened a large group of partners to conduct a rapid assessment of “high value” sites along the Florida Reef Tract affected by Hurricane Irma. The data archived here was collected to meet the following objectives: a) Rapid condition assessment of reef areas post-Irma; b) Locate areas with fragmented corals for subsequent triage; c) Assess storm-related impacts (e.g., breakage); and d) Assess coral disease. Partners include: National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FLDEP), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF), The Florida Aquarium, Mote Marine Laboratory, Force Blue, Florida Keys Community College, Nova Southeastern University (NSU), Florida Atlantic University (FAU), University of Miami (UM), Boston University (BU), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), National Park Service (NPS), NOAA Restoration Center, NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS), NOAA Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS).

                description:  Parameter or Variable: CORAL (measured); Units: count; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: visual observation; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Species, density, size, abundance, and specific parameters of condition (% live vs. dead, bleaching, disease) of non-juvenile scleractinian corals recorded using the Disturbance Response Monitoring (DRM) survey method.; Data Quality Method: Quality control procedures are implemented in three main stages: (1) data check following data collection, where divers trade datasheets immediately upon returning to boat after dive, to ensure all data were collected accurately and required information is complete; (2) independent reviewers compare datasheets with database entries; and (3) statistical analyses are conducted as the final check before distribution..
