Assessment of coral stressors on St. Lucie reef: Florida’s northernmost coral reef

The main objective of the project was to assess and define the effects (stressors) of acute blackwater events from the St. Lucie River on coral health at the 4.5-mile long St. Lucie Reef during low (dry season) versus high (wet season) levels of precipitation with associated varying influences from river/estuarine water discharge.
