  • (February 2004)... "Later this year, Cayman's reefs will be the basis for two PhDs that will work to better understand how coral reefs function....The Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) has granted Marilyn Brandt, a University of Miami PhD student, the CCMI Coral Reef Fellowship....CCMI is also assisting research by Aletta T Yniguez, a native of the Philippines, and Fulbright Scholar at the University of Miami. Using her work on Little Cayman, she plans to develop a computer model that shows 3D macroalgae growing as they respond to their environment of light, nutrients and the space around them."....[read more on this at http://www.caymannetnews.com/2004/02/587/reefs.shtml]

  • (September 12 2003)..."The National Center for Caribbean Coral Reef Research (NCORE) has recently sent a team of graduate students down to the Punta Cana region on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic where they completed a week long coral reef survey."....[read more on this at http://puntacanaeco.org/fundacion/ncore.htm]

  • (Aug 24 2001)..."When the water gets hot, you get massive coral mortality," said Dr. John McManus, director of the National Center for Caribbean Coral Reef Research at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Research. "We saw areas where for tens or hundreds of kilometers, there was 90 percent death. Total global coral mortality may have been as high as 20 percent." ....[read more on this at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/earth/features/coral.html]
