| log in | [FGB fate tracking] - Fate data for corals sampled at Flower Garden Banks from March 2023 to July 2024 (Collaborative Research: RAPID: A multi-scale approach to predicting coral disease spread: leveraging an outbreak on coral-dense isolated reefs) | These data summarize the fates of sampled corals from an unknown coral disease outbreak at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. In late August of 2022, an unidentified multi-species acute tissue loss disease with signs and species susceptibility characteristics reminiscent of white plague and/or Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) was documented at East and West Bank in the Flower Garden Banks (FGB, northwest Gulf of Mexico, GoM) by NOAA divers. Our interdisciplinary research team of ecologists, connectivity and disease modelers, microbiologists, and coral immunologists are using photomosaics and colony fate-tracking, molecular and microscopy approaches, as well as modeling of disease reservoirs and dispersal to better understand characteristics of this outbreak. A scientific cruise occurred March 5-10, 2023 to mark and collect samples from diseased and healthy corals at one site, Buoy 5, within the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Thirty-two stony coral colonies were tagged for sampling. Tagging consisted of hammering a uniquely numbered cattle tag into adjacent dead substrate with a masonry nail. A total of 96 samples were collected from the 32 tagged colonies (species: Orbicella franksi, Porites astreoides, Pseudodiploria strigosa). A second scientific cruise took place June 30 to July 4, 2024, when sampled corals were relocated and their current health status was recorded. This dataset includes the health status of each coral at the time of sampling in March 2023, and its health characteristics in July 2024 if it was found.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nSpeciesID (unitless)\nSpecies (unitless)\nTag_ID (unitless)\nSampleDate (unitless)\nSamplingHealthState (unitless)\nMonitoringDate (unitless)\nHealthState_2024 (unitless)\nLength_cm_2024 (centimeters (cm))\nWidth_cm_2024 (centimeters (cm))\nHeight_cm_2024 (centimeters (cm))\nOld_Mortality_pcnt_2024 (percent (%))\nRec_Mortality_pcnt_2024 (percent (%))\n | BCO-DMO | bcodmo_dataset_986526_v1 |
