- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
Twelve quadrats were haphazardly collected at 2 sites at Stingray Shoals in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands in August and September, 2003 from the NOAA vessel Oscar Elton Sette (OES03-07). Raw survey data included
genus presence and relative abundance, and voucher specimens. Detailed taxonomic analyses of voucher specimens are
presented.
- Purpose:
-
Part of an initial assessment program in which corals, algae, fish, and other macroinvertebrates are co-sampled along
the same set of transect lines.
- Supplemental_Information: Maximum depth was 24 meters.

- Process_Description:
-
A modified version of the Preskitt method was used to collect qualitative and quantitative
algal data (Preskitt et al. 2004, Pacific Science). One diver recorded the presence and relative abundance of
algal genera inside each of the twelve 0.18 m2 quadrats and collected voucher specimens, while the second diver
photographed each quadrat. An additional random swim was performed by the divers to collect qualitative samples.
