Abstract:
Beginning in 1996, stony coral species richness, stony coral disease/condition and Diadema antillarum abundance have been collected annually at 160 permanent stations (40 sites x 4 stations per site) from Key Largo to Key West, representing four different habitat types (Offshore deep, offshore shallow, patch reefs and hardbottoms). Twelve additional stations (3 sites) were added in 1999 in the Dry Tortugas.
Purpose: To provide information on stony coral species richness, stony coral disease/condition presence and Diadema antillarum abundance.

--Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.--
Two observers conduct simultaneous timed inventories within the roughly 2 x 22 m stations using underwater data sheets. At the end of the initial 15 minute inventory, observers spend 5 minutes comparing data and confirming species recorded by only one observer.
