  "projectDescription": "The mass mortality of Diadema antilarrum throughout the Caribbean in 19834 resulted in decreased herbivory and increased macro algae on coral reefs in the region. This project intends to increase population densities of Diadema antillarum on reefs in Puerto Rico by releasing lab cultured urchins to enhance herbivory and coral recovery (recruitment rates, survival and growth). This type of project has been identified as a high priority in the draft recovery plan for both Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis and builds off ongoing work with D. antillarum in Florida.",
