- Abstract:
-
Twelve quadrats were sampled along 2 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines, as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments, conducted at 8 sites at Saipan in the Marianas Archipelago from 12 - 22 May 2007, aboard the NOAA ship Hi'ialakai, during the Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) Cruise HI0702. Raw survey data included genus presence and relative abundance, and voucher specimens. Detailed taxonomic analyses of voucher specimens are presented.
- 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 19 meters.

- Process_Description:
-
A modified version of the Preskitt method was used to collect qualitative and quantitative algal data (Preskitt et al. 2004, Pacific Science). One diver recorded the presence and relative abundance of algal genera inside each of the twelve 0.18 m2 quadrats and collected voucher specimens, while the second diver photographed each quadrat. An additional random swim was performed by the divers to collect qualitative samples.
