Bibliographical note

A new study in Florida has successfully mapped 40 acres of staghorn coral, including some previously undiscovered reef patches. The report states staghorn corals covered nearly 100 percent of the seafloor in some areas. This is particularly astounding, as reef building, or stony, coral usually only account for 3-5 percent of the community on southeast Florida reefs.
