Florida Panhandle - Carrabelle

Setting

This is the western edge of Florida's Big Bend, a shallow, low-energy stretch of limestone hardbottom, sand, and seagrass rather than coral reef, so Keys cover statistics do not apply.

Stressors

No photographs, dive-log entry, or survey record is attached to this pin, so no bleaching, disease, or other stressor has been recorded here.

Comparisons with other data

The Panhandle is a northern-Gulf system of low-relief limestone ledges, artificial reefs, and sand flats rather than a tropical coral reef, so cover figures from the Florida Keys or the Caribbean are not a useful proxy for it.
