3D assessment of a coral reef at Lalo Atoll reveals varying responses of habitat metrics following a catastrophic hurricane
Extreme disturbances such as hurricanes can cause reductions in coral cover and three-dimensional (3D) structural complexity of coral reefs. We examined changes in structural complexity utilizing 3D reconstruction of a coral-reef site before and after Hur...
Document prepared by the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council during the period in which it is developing draft fishing regulations for the proposed Northwestern Hawaiian Islands National Marine Sanctuary. The insert discusses the history and import...
Characterization of Martensia (Delesseriaceae; Rhodophyta) from shallow and mesophotic habitats in the Hawaiian Islands: description of four new species
Fifty-six specimens of the red algal genus Martensia from the Main and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, representing both shallow (36 specimens from 0–20 m depth) and mesophotic habitats (20 specimens from 62–93 m depth), were collected and characterized us...
Fish assemblage structure in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands is associated with the architectural complexity of coral-reef habitats
The architectural complexity of coral-reef habitat plays an important role in determining the assemblage structure of reef fish. We investigated associations between the reef habitats and fish assemblages in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) using ...

Hawaiʻi Coral Disease database (HICORDIS): species-specific coral health data from across the Hawaiian archipelago
The Hawaiʻi Coral Disease database (HICORDIS) houses data on colony-level coral health condition observed across the Hawaiian archipelago, providing information to conduct future analyses on coral reef health in an era of changing environmental conditions...
Long-term monitoring of coral reefs of the main Hawaiian Islands : final report : 2009 NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program Hawai'i Island monitoring report, NA09NOS4260100, 10/01/2009-12/31/2012
This document presents the results of benthic surveys conducted on the main Hawaiian Islands in 2003, 2007, and 2011. The data from each of these surveys, including total benthic cover, rates of coral disease, and abundance of coral reef fishes, is discus...
