Raw survey data included percent live coral cover. Following the line-interspect survey, a 6m-wide transect, placed along the previously laid 25-m line was examined for the prevalence of coral disease. 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 17 meters.
