Dear colleagues,

Our paper describing groundwater inputs of anthropogenic N to a near-shore
reef in Bermuda is published in Coral Reefs (link
<https://doi.org/10.1007/s00338-019-01879-5>). We document nitrate
concentrations ~10x higher than is typical on Bermuda reefs, and use stable
isotopes (d15N) to distinguish this input of anthropogenic N and trace its
uptake by macroalgae and coral tissue. We also document coral calcification
rates declining closer to shore and over time.

Please contact us with any questions or difficulties accessing the full
text.

Best wishes,

Zoe, Anne, Tori, Tony, & Danny
