- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
Stationary Point Counts at 4 stations at each survey site were surveyed as part of Rapid Ecological
Assessments (REA) conducted at 2 sites around Kaula Rock 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.

Observations at each site were made by three divers who are experts in fish taxonomy. The
team of three REA fish divers rotated roles with two divers performing belt-transect surveys and one diver
performing stationary point counts at each survey site. Observations were periodically checked during the
expedition for consistency between divers, and little discrepancy was ever noted between divers. It should be noted,
however, that this data set is quite large, and probably includes typographical or other errors that might be
discovered at a future date.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
The same methods of data collection were used at each of the sites surveyed at this
location, and were conducted by the same scientists. Periodic examination of the data through the duration of the
trip showed no signs of diver bias or other discrepancies.
- Completeness_Report:
-
The survey sites were selected to be representative of the coral reef habitats at this reef system.
Efforts were made to include broad spatial coverage of the reef area, but weather conditions or other environmental
constraints may have precluded the team from surveying windward or exposed sites.

Data were collected by a single diver who remained motionless while slowly turning in a circle
for a duration of 5 minutes recording the abundance and size of all fishes greater than 25cm TL observed within
a 10m radius. At each survey site, 4 replicate counts were conducted. Fish were identified to the lowest possible
taxon which in most cases was the species level. This data is recorded in the spreadsheet as DataTyp equals QUAN.
Following the completion of four SPC replicates at each site, the diver spent his remaining bottom time roving
the general area near the site recording the presence of all fish species observed at the site. This data is
recorded in the spreadsheet as DataTyp equals PRES. Upon returning to the ship and Honolulu offices, data were
error checked, and data from the three fish surveyors were consolidated into one spreadsheet. Data have not been
modified, and this data set includes raw data.
