Synergistic effects of ocean acidification with land-based contaminants on coral larval recruitment and development - Six month progress report (May 1, 2013 - November 1, 2013).

Abstract

Testing if the adverse effects of ocean acidification are not enhanced in the presence of mosquito control pesticides currently in use along the Florida Keys by exposing larvae of the scleractinian coral (P. astreoides) to naled. Also testing the adverse effects of ocean acidification in the presence of endocrine disrupting compounds entering the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary by exposing scleractinian coral in the presence of oxybenzone.
