Hawaii Institute for Marine Biology and NOAA National Ocean Service,
Marine Sanctuary Program Partnership, in affiliation with the Coral
Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program, 2007 Survey of the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve: Digital Still Images (NODC Accession 0052882)
https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/0052882
Rapid Assessment Transects were conducted in 2007 in the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument of the Northwest
Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. The surveys
were led by Dr. Paul Jokiel and Mr. Erik Franklin along various
depth contours at 7 unique atolls or islands. This dataset consists
of digital still transect images (JPG files). Digital images are
important for future researchers to resolve any questions about how
the image data were interpreted for the quantitative database, to
provide the opportunity to re-analyze the images using other methods,
and to return to the same locations for future comparisons.
In a separate NODC Accession (0000881), benthic data for substrate types
and coverages are given, which were derived objectively from these
photographic images using PhotoGrid, a software package which analyzes
random points on images of coral reefs and substrate.
The surveys provide an important assessment of the status of the
coral ecosystem. For CRAMP purposes, the surveys expand the spatial
range of habitats and add to the extensive database for the main
Hawaiian Islands. These will augment the CRAMP Ecological Gradient
Model to compare sites throughout the archipelago and to assess the
condition of the sites.

The 2007 surveys were 100% complete
Non-overlapping digital stills are taken to assess the characteristics
of benthic populations via rapid assessment transects (RATs), which are an
abbreviated version of the CRAMP long-term monitoring sites. RATs have
one-10 m transect instead of 10-10 m transects for the long-term
monitoring sites for benthic cover. High resolution digital images are
taken along a 10 m transect using an Olympus 5050 zoom digital camera
with an Olympus PT050 underwater housing. The camera is mounted to an
aluminum monopod frame, 1.7 m from the substrate to provide a 50x69 cm
image. A 6 cm bar provides a measurement scale.
Subsequenty, data in a separate NODC Accession, 0000881, are derived via
the software program PhotoGrid (Bird 2001), which is used to quantify percent
cover, richness and diversity of corals, algal functional groups and
substrate cover. Images are downloaded and the 20 non-overlapping images
from each 10 m transect are imported into PhotoGrid where 50 randomly
selected points are projected onto each image for a total of 1,000
points per transect
