Description:
Abstract:
This map displays optical validation observation locations and percent coverage of scleractinian coral overlaid on bathymetry.
Purpose:
To display locations of optical validation data collected and percent coverage of scleractinian coral at Agrihan.
Supplemental_Information:
Agrihan is a dormant volcanic cone, with a land area of 47.4 square kilometers. The impact of feral goats and pigs is most evident on the eastern side of the island where resulting sedimentation and runoff is thought to have a significant effect on the marine environment. This is presently the only northern island that supports a permanent
population, which currently stands at seven people.
