Twelve quadrats were sampled along 2 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines as part of Rapid Ecological
Assessments conducted at 12 sites at Wake Atoll in April and May 2007 from the NOAA vessel Hi'ialakai(HI0701). Raw
survey data included genus (species when possible) presence and relative abundance, and voucher specimens. Detailed
taxonomic analyses of voucher specimens are presented.
Part of an initial assessment program in which corals, algae, fish, and other macroinvertebrates are
co-sampled along the same set of transect lines
Maximum depth was 20 meters.

Algal genera were identified in the field by trained phycologists.
The same methods of data collection were used at each of the sites surveyed
at this location, and were conducted by the same scientist.
The survey sites were selected to be representative of the dominant habitats at this reef.

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.
