Title:

Benthic percent cover derived from photoquadrat images taken along fixed transect sites around Hawaii Island from 2022-06-06 to 2022-09-15 (NCEI Accession 0288837)

Abstract:

The State of Hawaii DLNR (Department of Land and Natural Resources) DAR (Division of Aquatic Resources) marine monitoring team conducted surveys for benthic monitoring at 6 locations around Hawaii Island. At the 6 locations, one deep (10 meter) and one shallow (3 meter) site was surveyed through benthic photo quad image collection along 10 fixed transects. These permanent monitoring sites were established as part of the Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP). Sites were paired to represent the shallow and deep habitat at each location. Twenty-five random points were overlaid on each image in CoralNet (coralnet.ucsd.edu) and were annotated by staff members to obtain data for percent cover of benthic taxa.
