NCCOS Assessment: Acute Turbidity Exposures with Port of Miami Sediments Impact Orbicella faveolata Tissue Regeneration, 2019-02-13 to 2022-09-30 (NCEI Accession 0284052)

Preliminary experiments were conducted to determine optimal turbidity dosing systems for coral fragments and the parameters and results of each experiment (10) were reported. Three coral challenge experiments were performed on Orbicella faveolata fragments with varying durations: 48 h, 96 h and 13 days between 2/18/2020 and 3/22/2020. Tissue regeneration (wound healing) was measured on fragments during the exposure periods. Wound images were collected and ImageJ analyses of the wound size were recorded. Sediment particle sizes were measured on 9/28/2022 and a sea urchin embryo development toxicity test (9/1/2022-9/3/2022) was used to evaluate potential toxicity in the sediment used for the coral exposures.
