Hello,
I am trying to measure coral growth by using water displacement to
measure
volume change. The colonies that I intend to measure can be moved and
cannot be damaged at the end of the study. I would like to be able to
place the colony in a vessel of water of known surface area and measure
the
change in water height once the colony has been added, thus obtaining a
volume that will change with growth. Has anyone measured coral growth
in
this manner before? If so, what type of vessel and measuring device did
you
use? Does anyone know if a company makes such a measuring device for
items
ranging in size from 1cm to 30 cm in diameter? Any help would be
appreciated .
Thanks

I did this with measuring the growth of deep- and shallow-water Oculina
varicosa.
Take a 5 gallon plastic bucket (if the diameter is large enough for your
corals) and cut a hole near the top lip. Insert a plastic pipe so it
sticks
out a few inches and secure with silicone caulk. Have the pipe at a
slight
angle down. Place a container under the end of the pipe. Fill the
bucket
with seawater until it overflows through the pipe and stops dripping.
Empty
the overflow container. Take the coral and hold with hook and string;
slowly dip the coral into the bucket until completely covered. Catch
the
water overflow in the container. Pour this water into a graduated
cylinder
and measure the exact volume displaced.

in a hurry. Double-check your "To: " line before
sending.
2) Do not "flame" (i.e., scold) colleagues via the coral-list. If
you feel compelled to chastise someone, please send them
mail directly and flame away.
3) Please conduct as much preliminary research into a topic
as possible before posting a query to the list. (In
other words, you shouldn't expect others to do your
research for you.) Please consider:
o Your librarian (an extremely valuable resource)

Subject: Black Water killing Coral
Dear Coral List:
This is the most recent news flash on the ongoing "black water" event in
south Florida. From this its hard to see where the science starts and
the
hype ends and visa versa.
None the less, the event whether natural or man induced (or enhanced) is
disturbing.

Divers find evidence of black water's devastation
Monday, April 1, 2002 Naples Daily News
http://www.naplesnews.com/02/04/naples/d485365a.htm
By CATHY ZOLLO, crzollo at naplesnews.com
Dead and dying sponges crumbled in Ken Nedimyer's hand as he made his
way
along the bottom of the Northwest Channel off Key West last week.
Nearby, brain corals had recently died or were dying as well, the tiny
animals that build the corals decaying in their chambers. Not everything
was
affected, but other corals normally golden brown had an odd white crust
on
them, Nedimyer noted last week and in dives over recent days since black
water from the Southwest Florida coast bathed the keys.
"I've seen these corals under every imaginable circumstance, from 55
degree
water to 90 degree water, from calm, clear sea conditions to rough
cloudy
conditions, and I've never seen them look quite like this," Nedimyer
said.
He's been diving the keys since the 1970s, collecting sea life for his
business and growing heartsick over the declining state of the coral
reefs
while doing it. He's seen the effects of an explosion in coral diseases
and
the impact of human activity all around the reefs. Entire sections have
been
nearly stripped of live corals and taken over by algae.
What he's seen since the black water moved through the keys depresses
him
even more and has him wondering how long he'll be in business. He may
not be
alone.
The Keys supports a $1.3 billion tourism industry that attracts about 3
million visitors each year, who come to snorkel, dive, fish and relax.
Annual commercial landings of fish are valued at roughly $50 million.
Though commercial fishermen reported scant catches of Spanish mackerel
and
kingfish this season, landing numbers won't be available for six months,
fisheries officials said Friday.
First spotted by fishermen in January, the black water looked from
satellite
pictures to have trailed in along the west coast of Florida late last
year
and intensified when it reached western Florida Bay off the Shark River
just
below Marco Island and Naples. It now sits atop the lower half of the
island
chain as it dissipates.
By the time it reached the 126-mile chain of islands, the black water
had
become diluted to about a 10th its intensity, according to fishermen who
first reported the water in January.
Divers out to assess its impact last week said it hadn't yet hit reefs
south
of the chain that are most popular with tourists but appeared to be
heading
there.
Nedimyer said in visits to dive sites up and down the Keys this week, he
saw
similar recent effects where the water had moved through. Sea urchins
seem
unharmed by the phenomenon but starfish, including the common serpent
star,
were gone in the areas he dived. In a normal dive it's easy to find 50
or
more, but in four dives last week, he found one and it was dead.
Half or more of some sponge species - animals that filter quarts of
water
per hour as they feed - were dead after the black water moved through.
"I also saw dead vase sponges, 'stinker' sponges, red and yellow ball
sponges, and red tree sponges," Nedimyer said in a report of a March 22
dive
trip.
Erich Mueller, head of Mote Marine Laboratory's Tropical Research Center
in
Summerland Key, was also out on the water last week and noted that some
water was beautiful blue compared to the churned up olive green of the
dissipating black water. Mueller couldn't get a good fix on what was
happening in the channel because of the current and what it might have
already swept away, but he said close monitoring is in order.
"Everything isn't dead down there," he said. "But that's not to say
things
aren't affected. ... (Researchers) need to get out more."
Others, including backwater guides and fishermen, reported the water
making
its way in and around the Keys as of Friday, killing bottom life but
seeming
not to affect fish, birds and mammals.
While Keys residents were on the water assessing the black water damage,
state scientists and those from the University of South Florida
generally
downplayed the significance of the algae bloom that likely caused it at
a
meeting in St. Petersburg on Thursday.
Researchers who are still looking into the phenomenon noted that water
samples appear normal in most respects, and there have been no fish
kills
associated with the water. They say it might be a natural phenomenon,
much
like a 100-year flood.
Something that sounds similar to the black water was reported in a 1902
science journal that cited an 1878 ship's log detailing "cypress
colored"
water in the same area that killed large numbers of fish, plant life and
corals.
But even if it is a once-in-a-lifetime natural event, Keys residents
wonder
at the seemingly nonchalant response from state officials and others.
"I don't understand the state trying to ignore it," said Craig Quirolo,
founder and director of Marine Projects for Reef Relief, an
environmental
watchdog group. "People are very concerned. We are getting a lot of
calls in
our office from backwater guides who are seeing the downside of this."
Quirolo, who dove Friday for a look, described the water as
putrid-looking
and murky, but the destruction in some areas is plain and even more
apparent
on video footage.
"Even if these things happen on a natural basis, we're accelerating
everything with the nutrient loading we're doing," Quirolo said.
He was talking about agricultural and sewage runoff from mainland
Florida
rivers that makes its way to the Keys via gulf currents and local
pollution
from Keys septic tanks.
If scientists link all the data together, the Keys have seen more than
90
percent mortality of coral near the Keys since 1975, said coral expert
Phil
Dustan, professor of biology at the College of Charleston in South
Carolina
and science adviser for the Cousteau Society.
"The state doesn't want to discuss that," Dustan said.
Scientists at Thursday's meeting said discolored water is typical for
the
area, though fishermen and pilots on the water for decades said they'd
never
seen anything like it.
State officials also said there was no cause for alarm for boaters,
divers
and fishermen, and that bottom communities can rebound in as little as
three
years. Researchers are now spot-checking the bottom of the western bay
from
Naples to Key West to see if the water did anything to aquatic life
there.
The largest part of western Florida Bay, where the water was darkest and
remained for the longest time, is home to sea grass beds, soft corals,
sea
whips, sponges and other bottom life that provide shelter for other
aquatic
life.
State scientists and others are now scrambling to collect more water
samples
and find samples that may have been inadvertently collected during
sampling
expeditions out on other business when the black water was in the bay.
Though state officials say they knew about the phenomenon as early as
January, a concerted effort to determine its cause and effects wasn't
launched until late March and headed by the Florida Marine Research
Institute.
Dustan said some bottom-dwelling species will come back fairly quickly
under
the right conditions but not all.
"Brain corals might grow a centimeter a year," he said. So a 24-inch
brain
coral is about 60 years old. "A lot of corals grow slower than that."
Dustan has been studying Keys reefs for decades and echoed Quirolo,
saying
the black water is a symptom of a much larger problem involving
nutrients
and other pollutants being dumped in the oceans.
"There may be times when these blooms occur, and they may be a natural
event," he said. "But if you look at the emerging marine diseases on the
planet today and you start to look at the diseases in birds and mammals
and
coral and all the various brown tides we've seen to date, there's only
one
conclusion you can draw. The oceans are in a lot trouble and we're
causing
it."

For that it's worth, the following was posted about two months ago, on
the
same topic:
There is a proposal to move all of the commercial shipping, including
Exxon
& Texaco (with their tanker trucks) out to the East End -- the Ironshore
Gardens/Blow Hole area to be specific -- a HUGE commercial
dock/marina.
Residents will not only have no roads left, but will have an amazing
view
of the
commercial shipping industry, including the huge freighters that will
be
sitting offshore, unable to get into the dock (those who have been
diving
the East End
know how iffy the waters can be there). THEN they propose building a
huge
dock system in the George Town Harbor so they can have up to TEN (10)
cruise
ships docked there each day.

Dear Coral List,
I'm a student of the University of Nice France and I'm doing a research
with
other students about the reefs of New Caledonia. I'm looking for
informations about the interest of the site: species and their
environnement which make that region a place that must be protected.
I would like to know which are the problems concerning the management of
this area and which are the rastoration projects accepted or that could
(should) be accepted by the gouvernement.
This is a research about different regions that could make part to the
project Natura 2000.
I hope that there will be somebody able to help us!
Thank you,
regards
Chiara

Dear Chiara,
maybe you should try to contact two places:
Institute de recherche pour le developpement
BP A5
Noumea Cedex
Nouvelle Caledonie
You might try Dr. Pascal Douillet via: douillet at noumea.ird.nc
And there's an environmental organisation called Corail Vivant.
They can tell you a lot about management and restoration.
The person to contact would be Didier Baron: baron at offratel.nc
There's also some information in the internet, but there's not much on
nature,
and forget conservation.
Hope that will help a bit.
Cheers, Christine
