Figure 4. Mean growth rate (±SE) of Gorgonia ventalina at Yawzi Point (n= 30–63) and Tektite (n= 23–31) from 2013–2019.

Values based on colonies that were measured in two consecutive years and either did not change in height, or increased in height (i.e., increments of ≥ 0 mm y⁻¹). Vertical dashed line shows the impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
