These data are presented in Edmunds (2021) Fig. S2 in the supplementary materials and describe the annual mortality of tagged juvenile corals at six sites. Mortality (number of corals dead at the end of the period) is calculated as a percentage of the corals tagged at the start of the period in St. John, US Virgin Islands between 1996 and 2020. These data support Fig. S2 in the supplementary materials and describe annual mortality of tagged juvemnile corals at six sites. Mortality (number of ...

Juvenile corals
As part of another study small corals were tagged at each site, and their annual mortality (pooled by taxon) averaged across years by site, was used to evaluate whether variation in density was associated with mortality (i.e., with high mortality driving low densities).
