This data set includes seawater chemistry that was collected in coral reef habitats located within the SEFCRI region as well as inlets and outfalls that release nutrient rich and/or sediment laden freshwater to the coastal waters South Florida. Freshwater runoff and riverine inputs are known to be enriched in dissolved inorganic carbon, and diluted lower saline waters are known to have elevated pCO2 (e.g., Manzello et al. 2013) which is why those areas in addition to the reef sites were included in our analyses. This data along with other data collected in the field were used to inform the overall project looking at the sensitivity of the SEFCRI region to OA.
