\nWith support from and coordination with the\u00a0Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS)<\/a>, Mote is encouraging the public to report unusual marine events on Florida’s Coral Reef to the Southeast Florida Action Network (SEAFAN)<\/a>. The goal of the network is to help the scientific community better understand the nature and causes of marine events that adversely affect marine organisms, and assist ongoing research efforts to assess and monitor events as they develop. Understanding these events will help scientists and managers determine whether the events are natural or are linked to human activities.<\/p>\n

The key to the early detection of marine events is the people who are on the water. Most of them have a considerable knowledge of the area and an understanding of when things are not as they should be. Anyone who is on the water frequently is encouraged to report observations as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

There is no paperwork involved, no specialized training needed,\u00a0and no other participation or effort is required. By simply providing\u00a0what, where, and when something unusual was observed, residents can\u00a0provide scientists with the information needed to detect potentially large\u00a0scale events as they develop.<\/p>\n

Past reports have included observations of coral disease or bleaching, algal blooms or discolored water, diseased animals or mortality, as well as other “unusual” observations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
