Complicated Interactions Amongst Corals Species

-
The above photo shows the complexity that can occur when coral cover is high and many species are in contact with each other.

At least four species of coral can be seen interacting through competitive, mutualistic and neutral interactions within and between species, as well as with soft corals and a red alga.

BREAM Long Term Monitoring Sites - Google Map

-
While our maps and reports can be seen at www.BermudaBREAM.org , I thought it might be useful to show our long-term monitoring sites on Google Maps on our blog too. The dots on the map below show the location of the 39 sites we monitored in 2015 and 2016. The colours represent reef zones, as follows: Green: 10-m Forereef Yellow: Rim Reef Orange: Outer Lagoon Red: Inner Lagoon. *Colours are not an indication of reef condition. Our latest report, that compares reef condition in 2015 and 2016 with Baseline data from 10 years ago, is going through the final review and will be out soon!
