- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
Belt transects along 2 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines were surveyed as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments
conducted at 2 sites at Kaula Rock in the Main Hawaiian Islands in August, 2006 from the NOAA vessel Hi'ialakai
(HII06-10). Raw survey data included species presence and relative abundance, colony counts and size classes, and
visual estimation of percent cover. On each side of the transect lines, 0.5 m was included in the belt (for a total of
50m2 per site).
- Purpose:
-
Part of a reef assessment and monitoring program at biennial intervals in which corals, algae, fish, and other
macroinvertebrates are co-sampled along the same set of transect lines
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Maximum depth was 17 meters.

- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
Observations were made by a single diver who is an expert in coral biology. The population parameter survey is
conducted one time per site per survey year; it is not replicated.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
The same methods of data collection were used at each of the sites surveyed at this location, and were conducted by
the same scientist.
- Completeness_Report:
-
Selection of survey sites was guided by priority areas outlined by the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural
Resources, Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR). The intention was to survey areas that had not been previously
scientifically assessed, or to begin monitoring sites that had been assessed by CRED/DAR in 2005. The sites therefore
do not necessarily represent a range of habitats or exposures.

- Process_Description:
-
As diver swam along the transect line, she inspected the corals whose center fell within a 1m belt (i.e., 0.5m on
each side of the transect line). Each such coral was tallied by species and classified by its maximum diameter in one
of 7 size classes: 0-5cm, 5-10cm, 10-20cm, 20-40cm, 40-80cm, 80-160cm, or greater than 160cm. At the end of this
survey, a visual estimation of coral percent cover was made and recorded. Lastly, a larger area around the transect belt was
inspected for additional coral taxa that did not occur within the belt; the relative abundance of all corals was
qualitatively assessed using the DACOR system (D equals Dominant, A equals Abundant, C equals Common, O equals
Occasional, R equals Rare.
