    Growth rate of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts on terracotta settlement tiles at five sites across Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI from 2009 onward
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2021-02-03) Williams, Megan K. ; Edmunds, Peter J.
    Growth rate of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts was measured using terracotta settlement tiles at five sites across Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI. Unglazed terracotta tiles (15 × 15 × 1 cm) originally were deployed to measure coral recruitment, and photographs of the tiles were re-purposed to provide an additional measure of the planar growth of PAC. Years for which photographs of settlement tiles were available to be analyzed for growth rate include 2009, 2011-2012, and 2014-2019.

    Interactions of scleractinian corals with Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts at two sites and depths in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI as recorded in August 2019 and January 2020
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2021-02-03) Williams, Megan K. ; Edmunds, Peter J.
    Interactions of scleractinian corals with Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts were recorded at two sites and depth in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI. Since PAC in St. John is more abundant in shallow (3–5 m) versus deep (5–9 m) water, surveys were designed to contrast PAC between depths (3 and 9 meters). The first categorization of coral-PAC interactions at the Cabritte Horn and Tektite sites was August 2019, and the re-categorization was January 2020.

    Percent cover of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts at two sites and depths in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI from July and August 2019
    (Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2021-02-03) Williams, Megan K. ; Edmunds, Peter J.
    Percent cover of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts was measured at two sites and depths in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI in July and August 2019. These sites (Cabritte Horn and Tektite) were selected because the abundance of PAC has been measured in these locations since 2015. Peyssonnelid Algal Crust was surveyed in quadrats placed at random positions along transects positioned haphazardly along the 3 meter and 9 meter isobaths.

    The growth rate of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts was measured at two sites (Cabritte Horn and Tektite) and two depths (3 and 9 meters) in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI. The growth rate of the PAC margin (micrometer/day) was calculated using the number of days between when the tag was initially deployed to mark the margin of PAC in August 2019 to when the margin was re-measured again in January 2020.
