March has the highest standard deviation. A growth spurt starts on the fourth month after removal. Divers feeding Kappaphycus into the SuperSucker The SuperSucker is connected to a boat where crew members package Kappaphycus into fertilizer Kappaphycus suffocating coral Figure 2: Includes all data points. May and June have the highest standard deviations. There is steady growth starting the second month after removal.
