Come join us for a brief overview of the rapid reef assessment of the Florida Reef Tract, coordinated by NOAA, in response to Hurricane Irma.  It will cover the objectives of the assessment, methods and logistics, recommendations generated from the assessment, results from the data collected, as well as the lessons learned from this seminal effort.  The presentation will include images from some of our most impacted sites and examples of each of the types of impacts observed on the reef.
