[Coral-List] Re: A healthy Reef in the Florida Keys?

[Christopher Hawkins]

Phil-
   
  A good question.  I know that TNC folks, as part of the Florida Reef Resiliency Program (which has state, Sanctuary, NOAA and university partners), is working on this as we speak.  I am fairly sure they haven't inked anything concrete yet, though.
   
  Best,
  Chris

  Dear Listers,
 With all this work, talk, and conferencing on 
coral reef resiliency 
underway, I was wondering if anyone can identify 
a healthy reef (as 
measured by some suite of measurable parameters) 
in the Florida Keys or 
Dry Tortugas that we could use as a "standard, or 
baseline reef".
   Thanks,
   Phil
