• Abstract:

• • This map displays optical validation observation locations and percent coverage of scleractinian coral and sand overlaid on
    bathymetry and landsat imagery northwest of Hawai'i island. Optical data were collected by CRED TOAD camera sled from the
    Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary R/V Kohola cruise SB1505 and the NOAA survey launch
    R/V AHI during cruise SB1207.  A drop camera system was used on the Nature Conservancy R/V Kaka for the final 4 days of
    the SB1505 cruise. Additional drop camera data was collected by the NOAA Biogeography group during 2006-07.
    Diver photoquadrat images were collected by The Nature Conservancy in 2010 and 2012-14, the Hawaii Institue of
    Marine Biology in 2011 and the CRED Benthic team in 2005-06, 2008, 2010 and 2014.

• Purpose:

• • To display locations of optical validation data northwest of Hawai'i island, collected by camera survey
    and the percent coverage of living scleractinian coral and sand along the camera tracks.

• Supplemental_Information:

• • The island of Hawai'i is the southernmost island of the Hawai'ian archipelago. It is also the largest island with a land area of
    nearly 10,500 sq km. It is the youngest island of the archipelago with ongoing volcanic activity.
    TOAD camera sled optical surveying was carried out between Mahaiula Bay and Kawaihae Harbor during SB1505, between Kawaihae and Anaeho'omalu Bay during SB1207.
