The data described here result from coral reef assessments of reef slopes (10m depth) at permanent sites around Tutuila, American Samoa as part of the ongoing American Samoa Coral Reef Monitoring Program (ASCRMP). These surveys were conducted by members of the American Samoa Coral Reef Advisory Group between 2005 and 2017. The data was collected via SCUBA surveys and reports on coral, benthic and fish composition and derived metrics (e.g., benthic cover, coral diversity, fish diversity, fish biomass).
The primary objectives of the American Samoa Coral Reef Monitoring Program are twofold: (1) monitor the status and trends in the distribution and abundance of reef biota on reefs in American Samoa, and (2) provide environmental managers, in addition to other decision makers, with information that is pertinent to managing coral reefs in the territory. As a monitoring program, ASCRMP's goal is to document change - i.e., where, how much, and what kind of changes take place at the 12 monitoring sites around the Territory.
