A survey of the marine macroalgae and invertebrates in the intertidal and subtidal zones was conducted at seven sites around Kaho'olawe Island from January 12 to 14, 1998. A total of 298 species were observed or collected, including 152 taxa in the intertidal and 193 in the subtidal. Most of these are new reports for Kaho'olawe and include only 35 species previously reported, which were mostly reef corals and macroalgae. Data are provided as derived from the report: 1998-002. Coles, S.L., R.C. DeFelice, J.E. Smith, D. Muir & L.G. Eldredge. 1998. Determination of baseline conditions for introduced marine species in nearshore waters of the of Kaho`olawe, Hawai`i. Report prepared for the Kaho`olaweIsland Reserve Commission. 13 + [22] p.http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/pdf/kahoolawe.pdf
The primary purpose was to identify non-indigenous or invasive species in the nearshore marine ecosystem.

Two pairs of investigators made observations, with one team observing and sampling macroinvertebrates and the other team concentrating on macroalgae. Species observed as present were noted on underwater paper and samples of substratum and organisms not easily identified in the field were collected, preserved in 70% ethanol and returned to the laboratory for identification. Subtidal sampling was conducted at depths from approximately 5 to 30 m using SCUBA on dives approximately 50 minutes long. Samples in both the intertidal and subtidal were taken on a haphazard basis with the intention of obtaining as large a variety of organisms as possible.
