Abstract

This data set includes microsatellite genotypes for the corals Porites astreoides and Orbicella annularis collected off the south shore of St. John, US Virgin Islands. Samples were collected from 4 sites from both species and a fifth site for Porites astreoides in which maternal colonies and their brooded larvae were collected. In addition, long-term data collected from 1987 - 2024 on patterns of percent cover change, settlement and abundance of small corals for these two species are presented from the same coastline along the south shore of St. John.
