Title:

Coral ecosystem connectivity from Pulley Ridge to the Florida Keys: habitat and benthic macrobiota from underwater still images from 2012-08-17 to 2015-09-02 (NCEI Accession 0210993)

Abstract:

This dataset comprises still images recorded by remotely operated vehicle (ROV) surveys during four cruises from 2012 to 2015, which characterized the mesophotic coral ecosystems at Pulley Ridge and Dry Tortugas. A total of 87 ROV dives surveyed 91 random blocks in the Pulley Ridge and Dry Tortugas regions, and covered a distance of 150 kilometers at depths from 22.9 to 114.4 meters. The dataset totals 14,942 in situ digital still images, of which 11,104 were analyzed using Coral Point Count with Excel Extensions (CPCe) for benthic habitat, benthic macrobiota, and coral/sponge/algal cover.
