Note

The goals of this research are to: (1) provide a preliminary inventory and general distributional assessment of dominant algal communities, (2) initiate pilot studies of the effects of nutrient enrichment and grazing on structure of the reef communities and (3) contrast findings with other reef habitats for which comparable data are available. This research accomplishes these goals, increases our understanding of ecological processes that influence dominant reef communities and provides data of use in management decisions directed towards preserving Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary in a natural state.
