snip intro/background snip

page 19,

snip

"branching corals ...spawn three to five days after the full moon about
two hours after sunset"
"boulder corals ....spawn six to eight days after the august fullmoon
about three hours after sunset"

"full moon is on Aug 19th, sunset is around 7:48 therefore, branching
corals are expected to spawn between aug 22 & 24 at aroud 9:48pm"

"montastraea, the predominant boulder coral in the Keys are expected to
spawn between Aug 25 and 27 at about 10:48 p.m. " (aug 25 highest
probability)
