We work in 28 countries/ territories throughout the Caribbean and have collected data from more than 2,000 reef areas in those countries. More information is available on the individual country pages.
Benthos and Fish surveys were conducted in Flower Garden Banks using AGRRA protocol 2.1 and are included in the Atoll Research Bulletin No. 496, Status of Coral Reefs in the Western Atlantic, published 2003.
The East and West Flower Garden Banks located 175 km southeast of Galveston, Texas on the edge of the U.S. Gulf Coast continental shelf, were created by the uplift of Jurassic-age salt domes. Rising about 100 m above the surrounding depths to within 18 m of the surface, the Flower Garden Banks support the northernmost coral reefs in the continental United States.
