Vitality of reef coral populations off Key Largo, Florida: Recruitment and mortality

@heatshok @DrLaurenToth No disagreements from me that the lack of recent recruitment is likely unprecedented, but recruitment of Acropora (and Orbicella) in the keys was exceptionally low even in the 1970's https://t.co/WWrS1lVedk https://t.co/IMuvlpWaFT

(10/n) ...but even studies from the 70’s prior to the Caribbean collapse indicates that recruitment of Acropora and Orbicella was rare https://t.co/WWrS1lVedk https://t.co/NZ4zY2nWIG https://t.co/SVnSm8UhvZ
