Sampling grids to support the collection and analysis of survey data for the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program in American Samoa, Pacific Remote Islands Areas, Main Hawaiian Islands
The sampling grids are identified as essential components for the stratified random sampling design of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The benthic habitat map layers including bathymetry, hard and soft substrates, reef zones and sector...
Coral reef ecosystem marine protected area monitoring in Fagamalo, American Samoa: benthic images collected during belt transect surveys in 2015
In 2010 the village of Fagamalo, Tutuila, American Samoa, designated a no-take Marine Protected Area that sees the protection of 2.25 square kilometers of ocean. Because little is known regarding the status of living marine communities in the area, and at...
Benthic Habitat Maps for Rose Atoll Marine National Monument in American Samoa from 2004 to 2010
Benthic habitat maps for Rose Atoll, American Samoa were derived from high resolution, multispectral satellite imagery for 2004, 2006, and 2010. The benthic habitat maps for 2004 were previously generated by NOAA's NCCOS's BioGeography Branch before this ...
