This is the full set of Southeast Florida Coral Reef Evaluation and Monitoring Project (SECREMP) raw data. This includes in situ surveys of benthic substrate coverage, stony coral abundance and condition, octocoral abundance and condition, Xestospongia muta abundance and condition, and hourly temperature records from each SECREMP site. Abstracts are provided for each dataset individually.

This ongoing project began in 1988. A total of 38 subsurface recording thermographs have been deployed in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS)and at other selected locations on the Florida Reef Tract and associated hydrologic ecosystems. These instruments have been programmed to record at 2 hour intervals and are placed in permanent housings attached to suitable substrate. Data retrieval, servicing and reprogramming for continuous deployment have occurred, on average, annually. Initially, the collected data are made available to FKNMS Managers and others who monitor and assess environmental conditions that influence FKNMS areas of the Florida Reef Tract. An archival copy of these data is maintained and available from the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center.
