01 Feb, 12 PM - 16 Aug, 01 PM

Mark out plots (Six 1.5 × 1.5 m plots in six sites) with stainless steel pins (approx. 6 inches) on outer reefs sites using SCUBA. Collect a very small amount of tissue from Pocillpora coral colonies. Our method to sample coral tissue has trivial impacts on the coral host and involves a diminutive sample of tissue contained in one Pocillopora verruca (a single skeletal/tissue structure 5-mm diameter). The size of the biopsy is smaller than that removed by a single bite from a small parrotfish, or butterfly fish, and we have observed routine and complete healing from scars far bigger than these. This small amount of tissue will not increase the mortality, or decrease the growth, of the colony.
