Belt transects along 2 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines were surveyed as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments conducted at 9 sites at Baker in the Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIAs) during 15 January - 6 February 2006 in the NOAA Hi'ialakai Reef ...

This dataset focuses on marine surveys used to obtain a more in depth record of the marine fauna from French Frigate Shoals and includes a note on nonindigenous species from NOWRAMP 2000 surveys at 39 sites and a March 2002 survey at a single site. In Sep...

Recruitment processes influence coral population dynamics as well as reef community structure. Coral recruitment is generally determined by one of three methods: artificial settlement plates, small-scale macro photography, or painstaking visual searches i...
