Coral ID for Intervention Divers

This PowerPoint provides an introduction to identifying Caribbean stony corals, with a focus on species that are most susceptible to Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD). It outlines the main colony growth forms, corallite structures, and surface features that help distinguish key species, supported by clear images for field use. The goal is to build familiarity with these vulnerable corals so monitoring and treatment teams can quickly recognize, document, and respond to disease impacts in the region.
