Habitat and fish population in the deep-sea Oculina coral ecosystem of the western Atlantic Habitat and fish population in the deep-sea Oculina coral ecosystem of the western Atlantic

In this paper, we describe results from mapping studies conducted in 2001 and improvements to reef fish populations that have occurred in the last few years. We find that less than 10% of the area contains intact Oculina coral thickets, which we continue to attribute primarily to trawling. In addition, we find increased grouper density and male abundance inside the protected area...

Survey explores active tectonics in northeastern Caribbean Survey explores active tectonics in northeastern Caribbean

There is renewed interest in studying the active and complex northeastern Caribbean plate boundary to better understand subduction zone processes and for earthquake and tsunami hazard assessments [e.g., ten Brink and Lin, 2004; ten Brink et al., 2004; Grindlay et al., 2005]. To study the active tectonics of this plate boundary, the GEOPRICO-DO (Geological, Puerto Rico-Dominican) marine...

Geologic framework, evolution, and sediment resources for restoration of the Louisiana Coastal Zone Geologic framework, evolution, and sediment resources for restoration of the Louisiana Coastal Zone

The Louisiana Coastal Zone along the north-central Gulf of Mexico represents one of America's most important coastal ecosystems in terms of natural resources, human infrastructure, and cultural heritage. This zone also has the highest rates of coastal erosion and wetland loss in the nation because of a complex combination of natural processes and anthropogenic activities during the past...
