St. Croix: Shore-based Fishing Access Points (2014)
Two local experts delineated access points for shore-based fishing along the shoreline of St. Croix, USVI. The points were documented at different times, and then aggregated into a single database.
Deep-sea biology in undergraduate classrooms: Open access data from remotely operated vehicles provide impactful research experiences
Opportunities for students to conduct research in courses increase feelings of belonging in science, retention in STEM majors, and sense of ownership in a student’s educational experience. However, many research fields are challenging to bring to students...
In support of marine recreational fishing: an assessment of access and infrastructure in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands
This project gathered information on the infrastructure (services, businesses and physical facilites) serving the marine recreational fishing industry (MRF) in Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands (PR/USVI). The information was gathered throug...
Acropora Cervicornis Data Coordination Hub, an Open Access Database for Evaluating Genet Performance
Once one of the predominant reef-building corals in the region, Acropora cervicornis is now a focal species of coral restoration efforts in Florida and the western Caribbean. Scientists and restoration practitioners have been independently collecting phen...
Understanding Coral Reef Fish Characteristics Using Videogrammetry in Hanauma
and Maunalua Bays, Oahu, Hawaii during 2007 (NODC Accession 0042353)
Videogrammetry data taken in 2007 are used for a study of fish within coral
reef ecosystems. We attempted to generate or find information on abundance,
growth, sex-specific size-atÂ-maturity, length-specific sex ratios,
size-fecundity relationships, age...
The assessment of hull fouling as a mechanism for the introduction and dispersal of marine alien species in the main Hawaiian Islands through surveys at harbors on Oahu's southern and southwestern coasts during 2003 (NODC Accession 0001455)
Surveys for adult invertebrates that were part of the hull fouling communities were done to determine to what extent marine alien invasive species (AIS) are being transported in this fashion. The focus was to perform a qualitative analysis that created a ...
Assessment of Nonindigenous Species on Coral Reefs in the Hawaiian Islands, with Emphasis on Introduced Invertebrates (NODC Accession 0001419)
Coral reefs on the islands of Kaua'i, Moloka'i, Maui, Hawai'i and O'ahu were surveyed for the presence and impact of marine nonindigenous and cryptogenic species (NIS) using a rapid assessment method that standardized search effort for approximately 312 m...
Monitoring of Coral Reef Ecosystems on Maui, Hawaii during 1989-1998 (NODC Accession 9900242)
In an effort to detect spatial and temporal changes in the structure of the
coral reef community, coral coverage and reef fish density and diversity
were documented at selected sites along the Maui coastline using standard
transect methodology and S...
Reduction and control of sediment-laden runoff to coastal waters through the implementation of best management practices (BMPs), coastal habitat rehabilitation and delimitation of public access at Culebra, Puerto Rico
"As part of the efforts to implement the Culebra Community Watershed Action Plan for Coral Reefs and Water Quality, two projects were carried out from October to December 2014; one at Zoni Beach and the other in downtown Culebra near the water tank. These...
Oculina Banks Habitat Area of Particular Concern Geographic Information System 2002 (NODC Accession 0090252)
OGIS provides a comprehensive, interactive data source for the Oculina Banks Habitat Area of Particular Concern (OHAPC),
a marine protected area off the east coast of Florida in 70 to 120 meters of water depth. An Oculina Geographic
Information System (OG...
