UrduA new study shows stony coral tissue loss disease is causing drastic changes in the Caribbean’s population of corals, which is sure to disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem and threaten marine biodiversity and coastal economies.

Extreme Temperature Stress Proving Disastrous on Southeast Florida’s Coral Reefs
Thanks to extremely high ocean temps, coral reefs are dying like we’ve never seen before. Research scientists are doing anything and everything to help – it’s a race against time.
Low-cost 3D Method Rapidly Measures Disease Impacts on Florida’s Coral Reefs
A low-cost and rapid 3D technique is helping scientists to gain insight into the colony- and community-level dynamics of the poorly understood stony coral tissue loss disease responsible for widespread coral death throughout the Tropical Western Atlantic. They adapted Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry to generate 3D models for tracking lesion progression and impacts on diseased coral colonies. They combined traditional diver surveys with 3D colony fate-tracking to determine the impacts of disease on coral colonies throughout Southeast Florida.
