Benthic Habitats of Puerto Rico; Photomosaic of Guayanil
This project is a coopertative effort between NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), U.S. Geological Survey, National Park Service, and the National Geophysical Data Center, to produce benthic habitat maps and georeferenced imagery for...
Coral reef digital still images and benthic species of the Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) on Maui in 2014 (NCEI Accession 0147682)
This dataset consists of digital still images along coral reef transect lines, and photoquads on some transect lines, as well as quantitative benthic data for select images via PhotoGrid, a software package that analyzes random points on digital still ima...
Oceanographic data collected during the Bonaire 2008: Exploring Coral Reef Sustainability with New Technologies (bonaire2008) on Fetch1 AUV and Gavia AUV's in Netherlands, Antilles from January 6, 2008 - January 29, 2008 (NODC Accession 0072312)
Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles, is arguably the most pristine coral reef environment in the Caribbean. The percent coral cover is the highest and percent algal cover the lowest as compared to other Caribbean. Thus, the Bonaire reef environment represents a...
Benthic percent cover derived from analysis of benthic images collected at coral reef sites in Timor-Leste in 2013 and 2014 (NCEI Accession 0168620)
The benthic cover data described here result from benthic photo-quadrat surveys conducted by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) in hard bottom shallow water (< 15 m) habitats in Timor-Leste during reef fish surveys surveys at 150 sites that were...
Fast focus of attention for corals from underwater images
Coral reef ecosystems is essential in healthy ocean and marine fishery. In the past decades, substantial of images and videos haven been collected from these cruises. These images are analyzed to quantify coral abundance in certain specific areas. However...
Analysis of Benthic Survey Images via CoralNet: A Summary of Standard Operating Procedures and Guidelines (2022 update) Public Version
This is a reference document that provides guidelines for training and the analysis of images on CoralNet from surveys conducted by the Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD), formerly known as the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), of the NOAA Pacific Isla...
Digital Still Transect Images from the Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) Maui 2006 (NODC Accession 0039627)
This dataset consists of digital still transect images (JPG files) from
CRAMP surveys taken on Maui in 2006 at 8 sites, some of which had
multiple depths. Surveys typically consist of shallow (~3m) and
deep (~10m) lines. Digital images are important for...

Marine Sanctuary Program Partnership, in affiliation with the Coral
Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program, 2007 Survey of the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve: Digital Still Images (NODC Accession 0052882)
Rapid Assessment Transects were conducted in 2007 in the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument of the Northwest
Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. The surveys
were led by Dr. Paul Jokiel and Mr. Erik Franklin along various
depth contours...
Coral reef ecosystem marine protected area monitoring in Fagamalo, American Samoa: benthic cover derived from analysis of benthic images collected during belt transect surveys of coral demography from 2015-10-26 to 2015-11-13 (NCEI Accession 0169724)
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...
Digital Still Transect Images from the Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP): Data from 2004 (NODC Accession 0037908)
This dataset consists of video transect images (JPG files) from
CRAMP surveys taken in 2004 at 6 sites, some of which had
multiple depths. Digital images are important for future researchers
to resolve any question about how the image data were interpret...
