Abstract:
"Majuro Atoll reefs were surveyed using a comprehensive quantitative method that targeted fishes, hard corals, benthos, and macroinvertebrates at 14 sites that represented environmental and human gradients. This survey serves as the start of the Majuro Atoll Long-term Monitoring Program. In addition, a comprehensive survey of rubbish in the lagoon and around the atoll was conducted, and serves as a baseline to monitor trends of rubbish breakdown and additional disposal in the future."
