<summary type="text">Caribbean Acropora restoration guide :  best practices for propagation and population enhancement.
Johnson, Meaghan E.; Lustic, Caitlin; Bartels, Erich; ...et al.
The significant decline of Acropora corals throughout the Caribbean is well documented, prompting the development of Acropora propagation and restoration efforts to enhance the natural recovery of this threatened keystone component of coral reefs.&#13;
The purpose of this guide is to share the collective knowledge of a community of scientists and restoration practitioners who have been working both independently and collaboratively to restore populations of Acropora corals throughout the Caribbean.This guide provides best current practices for nursery and outplanting design&#13;
and methodology.
Guide. PDF iii, 54 p. Color ills., charts, tables. Literature cited p.52-53.

Pomponi, Shirley; Reed, John; Widder, Edie; Russell, Craig; Frank, Tammy
This leg of the expedition was led by two groups of scientists from Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. The first group searched for previously undiscovered compounds in marine organisms that could help fight human diseases. Samples were primarily collected from sponges and octocorals. The second project focused on bioluminescence and bottom-dwelling organisms.
29 p. Color illustrations, appendices, lesson plans.

<summary type="text">Biogeography team coral reef ecosystem assessment and monitoring database.
Center for Coral Coastal Monitoring and Assessment.
The full list of photos and brief scientific description of coral from the Biogeography Team. The Biogeography Team evolved from a Living Marine Resource mapping program that began in NOAA in 1978. The initial focus of mapping species distributions in coastal waters has evolved into characterizing coastal species distributions, their habitats and the coupling of species and their habitats.
