- Abstract:
-
Belt transects along 1 or 2 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines were surveyed as part of Rapid Ecological
Assessments conducted at 10 sites at Ofu and Olosega Islands in American Samoa in February/March, 2006 from the NOAA
vessel Hi'ialakai (HI06-02). Raw survey data included colony counts and size classes by genus, and visual estimation
of percent cover. Half a meter( 0.5m) on each side of the transect lines were included in the belt (for a total of
25m2 or 50m2 per site), depending on colony density.
- Purpose:
-
Part of a long-term 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 16 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:
-
The survey sites were selected to be representative of the dominant habitats at this reef.

As the diver swam along the transect lines, she inspected the corals whose center fell within a 1m-wide belt
(i.e., 0.5 on each side of the transect line). Each such coral was tallied by genus 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 >160cm. At the end of this
survey, a visual estimation of coral percent cover was made and recorded.
