Nearshore hardbottom reefs of Floridas east coast are vital habitats for over 1100 species of fishes, invertebrates, algae, and sea turtles. These rocky reefs provide essential reproduction, settlement, and habitat use, as well as energy sources and sinks. They are also frequently buried by beach renourishment projects, which utilize artificial reefs for mitigation. This comprehensive book is designed for research scientists and agency personnel, while also being accessible to interested laypersons, including beachfront residents and water-users. It features an unprecedented collection of research information, including over 1250 technical citations and 127 figures, and showcases stunning color photographs. These shallow reefs are part of a mosaic of coastal shelf habitats, including estuarine seagrasses and mangroves, as well as offshore coral reefs. They are federally designated as Essential Fish Habitats - Habitats of Particular Concern - and are important feeding areas for federally-protected sea turtles. The book examines organismal and assemblage responses to natural and man-made disturbances, including climate change, in the context of new research and management opportunities for east Floridas islands in the sand.
