Shallow-water Marine Invertebrates French Frigate Shoals, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 2000 and 2002, (NODC Accession 0001083)
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...
Growth of Tripneustes Gratilla in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii 2003, (NODC Accession 0001459)
As part of a study of the possibility of using the urchin T. gratilla to
control the growth of macroscopic algae on shallow reefs in Kaneohe Bay,
we examined the growth rate of this urchin. We measured growth of tagged
(PIT tagged) urchins at both sites ...
West Hawaii Aquarium Project 1999-2003 Fish and Substrate Data (NODC Accession 0001467)
In response to declines in reef fishes, the Hawaii state legislature
created the West Hawaii Regional Fishery Management Area in 1998 to
improve fishery resources (Act 306). The West Hawaii Aquarium Project
(WHAP) was funded by the Hawaii Coral Reef Init...
Feeding biology of the introduced fish roi, and its impact on Hawaiian reef fishes, January 2004 and January 2005, (NODC Accession 0002172)
Feeding biology of the introduced fish roi (Cephalopholis argus), and its impact on Hawaiian reef fishes and fisheries between January 2004 and January 2005. Roi were collected from 27 sites on Oahu and the Kona coast of the Island of Hawaii to study vari...
Benthic Macroinvertebrate Community Assessment, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, October 2000, (NODC Accession 0002301)
The Northwestern Hawaiian lslands were sampled during October 2000 at 63 stations on 9 atolls or
islands under the lead of NOAA. This work is affiliated with the Northwest Hawaii Islands Coral Reef Assessment
and Monitoring Program (NOWRAMP), which perfor...
Coral Species, Colony Sizes, and Percent Coverage Based on Photoquadrat Images from the Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program: 2000 - 2002, (NODC Accession 0002312)
Fixed photoquadrats are used to examine trends of individual organisms with regards to growth,
recruitment and mortality. Five haphazardly selected photoquadrats at each depth contour were established with 4
pins at each corner to ensure accurate repositi...
The relationship between coral reef health, alien algae, and fish biomass at sites on Oahu and the Big Island, Hawaii, during 2004-2005 (NODC Accession 0002619)
Data in this set come from two studies: "Ability of protected reefs to resist alien algae" and
"How many fish does it take to keep the alien algae out?" Both are authored by Ms. Danielle Jayewardene and
Dr. Charles Birkeland of University of Hawaii Manoa...
Resource-Fish surveys using timed-swims at 14 coral reef ecosystem sites of West Hawaii in 2005, (NODC Accession 0002627)
Effective management of coral reef ecosystems depends on adequate data on the status and trends of key
ecosystem components. In spite of which, previous coral reef monitoring programs in the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI)
have been fragmentary and uncoordin...
