- •
Turbidity associated with Port of Miami dredging observed from MODIS and Landsat
- •
Developed practical method for estimation of plume size, shape, and extent
- •
Environmental data used to rule out other plume causal factors (e.g., wind, tide)
- •
Dredging activities greatly increased size and frequency of plumes.
- •
After dredging began, coral areas within plumes doubled, as did frequency of impact.
