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 Kure Atoll.

Supplemental_Information:

Kure Atoll, lying at the northwestern end of the Hawaiian Archipelago at 28.5N, 178W, is the northernmost atoll in the world. This classically shape atoll encloses 0.86 sq. km of land including Green Island which has was home to a long range navigation (LORAN) station for decades. The coral reef environment includes 167 sq. km of banks with depths less than 100 m in depth.
