Description:
Abstract:
Belt transects along 3 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines were surveyed as part of Rapid Ecological
Assessments conducted at 17 sites at Hawaii in the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) during July 27 - August 20 2006
in the NOAA Hi'ialakai (HI0610) Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) Cruise. Raw survey data included
species level abundance estimates.
Purpose:
Part of a long-term monitoring program at biennial intervals in which corals, algae, fish, and other
macro invertebrates are co-sampled along the same set of transect lines.
Supplemental_Information:
The maximum observation depth was 22 meters.
Fish observed: see an additional EXCEL sheet CRED_REA_FISH_Hawaii_2006.xls
