Terracotta settlement tiles were deployed at 18 sites at six of seven reef slope locations monitored through permanent transect sites on the Scott Reef systems. During nine years between 1996 - 2013 settlement tiles were deployed and collected after one month either side of the coral spawning. At each of the sites, groups of six settlement tiles (10 cm x 10 cm) were spaced at 60 m along the permanent transect site, at distances of 30 - 100 cm apart (n-108 tiles total). Density of colony sizes and growth and survival of colonies were recorded. Tissue samples were collected from 982 colonies of a corymbose Acropora (Acropora sp.) at five timepoints (2004, 2009, 2014, 2015, and 2021 for microsatellite genotyping and whole genomes sequencing.
