©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Reef seawater was collected to quantify microbial cell abundances. Water samples were collected by SCUBA divers approximately 2 meters above the reef surface. Physical parameters, including temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity, were measured from the boat using an EXO2 multiparameter sonde. Sample processing will follow previously published methods (Becker et al., 2020; Weber et al., 2020). Collections were replicated across four sampling days.
