One, 25-m line transect was surveyed at 50-cm intervals as part of the Rapid Ecological Assessment conducted at 14
sites at Pearl and Hermes Reef in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in September, 2004 from the NOAA vessel Hi'ialakai
(HI04-01). Raw survey data included percent live coral cover. Following the line-interspect survey, a 6m-wide
transect, placed along the previously laid 25-m line was examined for the prevalence of coral disease.
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
Maximum depth was 17 meters.

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.
The same methods of data collection were used at each of the sites surveyed
at this location, and were conducted by the same scientist.
The survey sites were selected to be representative of the dominant habitats at this reef system.

As a diver swam along the transect line, he inspected and talied the live coral elements falling directly
underneath each 50-cm mark on the transect line. At the end of this examination , the diver also surveyed an area
of 25x6 m, along each transect, within which prevalence of coral disease was recorded.
