 | 04 Sand Key buoy 11 transect subjects
None of the coral colonies in these photographs are alive today. This category reflects the tragic loss of living coral caused by water pollution, storms and the neglectful management of this resource.
|  | 05 Sand Key buoy 12 Grand Canyon
These are the oldest living corals in the Lower Keys and are slowly succumbing to bleaching and coral disease. Because of their age they have been able to survive a bit longer than the smaller coral colonies that have died on this section of the reef.
