National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Assessment of coral communities in the Florida Reef Tract from 2014-05-01 to 2014-10-01 (NCEI Accession 0156879)
This coral demographics protocol was devised to provide additional, species-specific insight (and ‘signal magnitude’) for corals than is provided by percent cover. Specifics of the protocol are based closely on other long-established monitoring programs i...
Proceedings of the 14th National Stock Assessment Workshop and 4th Biennial Meeting of working group on Maturity, Assessment, Reproductive Variability, and Life Strategies
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) held its 14th National Stock Assessment Workshop (NSAW14) from 9 to 11 May 2023 in Providence, RI. The Workshop was held jointly with the Maturity Asses...
National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Assessment of fish communities in the Florida Reef Tract from 2014-05-01 to 2014-10-01 (NCEI Accession 0156445)
Divers conducted reef visual census (RVC) fish surveys and habitat assessments at 433 sites in the Florida Keys, 436 sites in the Dry Tortugas and 320 sites in the Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative (SEFCRI) region. NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science C...
National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Assessment of fish communities in the Florida Reef Tract from 2020-06-29 to 2021-10-27 (NCEI Accession 0253454)
The stationary point count method (7.5m radius cylinder) is used to conduct fish surveys in Florida as part of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). This method collects and reports information on species composition, density, size structure...
Hourly surface currents measured by High Frequency (HF) Wellen radars (WERA) off western Oahu, Hawaii, from September 2002 to May 2003 (NODC Accession 0013113)
A pair of High Frequency Wellen radars (WERA) shore-based at
southwest Oahu (Ko'Olina) and northwest Oahu (Kaena), Hawaii
measured surface currents over a nine-month period from September
2002 to May 2003. Vector currents were combined from
measured radi...
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...
Coral larvae settle at a higher frequency on red surfaces
"Although chemical cues serve as the primary determinants of larval settlement and metamorphosis, light is also known to influence the behavior and the settlement of coral planulae. For example, Porites astreoides planulae settle preferentially on uncondi...
National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Assessment of coral communities in the Florida Reef Tract from 2020-08-21 to 2021-09-21 (NCEI Accession 0253452)
The Benthic Assessment (BA) is the first of two benthic surveys conducted in Florida as part of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). Benthic Assessment provides benthic cover estimates for ecologically important cover types/groups (e.g., ma...
National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Assessment of coral reef benthic communities in the U.S. Virgin Islands from 2019-06-08 to 2019-08-09 (NCEI Accession 0215460)
The National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) assessed coral reef communities in St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) using two benthic surveys: the Benthic Assessment (BA) and the Coral Demographic method. Benthic Assessme...
