This video is a follow-up to the post-bleaching surveys conducted by the Disturbance Response Monitoring (DRM) program following the 2023 coral bleaching event.
During the summer of 2023, record breaking water temperatures exposed coral reefs in the Florida Keys to triple the heat stress than previous years. The DRM program surveys were vital to capturing the severity of this bleaching event:

FWRI’s Coral Research Program is home to the Disturbance Response Monitoring (DRM) program. The DRM program is the largest, collaborative volunteer-based coral monitoring effort in the world and brings together partners across the jurisdictions of Florida’s Coral Reef. The data generated by the DRM program provides reef managers with an annual assessment of the extent of coral bleaching and disease and its potential impacts on Florida’s coral reefs.
