Implementing a Commercial Fisheries Bio-Sampling Program on Oahu and Maui: Hawaii's Bio-Sampling Program
"Hawai'i's nearshore fishery (commercial and non-commercial catch) is valued between 10 to 16 million dollars. Aside from the estimated dollar value of the fishery, the catch provides more than seven million meals annually. The nearshore fishery is compos...
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...
The information collected in the Okeanos Explorer (EX) Sampling Operations Database Application (SODA) was customized for the sampling operation protocols developed prior to the launch of the Campaign to Address Pacific Monument Science, Technology, and O...
Coral reef sediment pore water sampling techniques
Anthropogenic pollutants are a major threat to the health and fitness of coral reefs. These pollutants can be found in the water column or concentrate in the sediments, where they may be toxic to marine life. This 17-minute video demonstrates simple, spec...
The purpose of this manual is to document the sampling operations, data archiving procedures, and reporting requirements used by NOAA Ocean Exploration for expeditions on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. While this manual is specific to NOAA Ocean Exploration,...
Multispecies survey design for assessing reef-fish stocks, spatially explicit management performance, and ecosystem condition
"Principles of statistical sampling design were used to guide refinement of a 30-year multispecies fisheryindependent diver visual survey of population abundance and size structure of more than 250 exploited and non-target fishes in the Florida coral reef...
Improvement of commercial fisheries dockside sampling and biosample collection in the U.S. Caribbean
Many species of reef fish contribute to healthy reef ecosystems; in particular herbivorous fish may play a role in preventing algae from overgrowing corals. Prevention of overfishing of key species relies on sound management strategies based on rigorous s...
