Coral Reefs:
Anthropogenic activities near delicate coral reefs are being monitored and regulated using data and technologies pioneered at AOML. Offshore of Miami, the realtime data stream is permitting daily regulation of discharge activity by the Army Corps of Engineers (Figure 23). Meteorological and oceanographic parameters along the Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary reef tract are monitored from a series of fixed platforms (Figure 24 and Figure 25), and these data are assimilated by an artificial intelligence-based program (Coral Reef Early Warning System) that automatically issues warnings of coral reef bleaching and other deleterious conditions to the coral reef research and management community. The same system of hardware and software has been developed for the Great Barrier Reef in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS).
