ResourceComparing mesophotic and shallow reef assemblages in the 'Au'au Channel: fish size, feeding guild composition, species richness, and endemism
Mesophotic (30–150 m) reef fish assemblages in the 'Au'au Channel, between the Hawaiian Islands of Maui and Lanai, were compared visually with neighboring shallow (<30 m depth) reef fish assemblages for differences in structure. Between 2007 and 2011, app...
ResourceA preliminary analysis examining linkages between reef fish assemblages and benthic habitat characteristics in Tutuila, American Samoa
"This preliminary study demonstrates that terrain surface convexity can be used to improve the sampling designs of reef fish assemblages around Tutuila, American Samoa. The utility of terrain surface convexity for improving survey design, however, will no...
ResourceSeafloor characterization using multibeam and optical data at French Frigate Shoals, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
"Multibeam bathymetry, backscatter, and optical data collected by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) were used to create maps of seafloor habitats on the bank top at French Frigate Shoals (FFS) in water depths ranging from less than 10-100 m. S...

ResourceA Classification Scheme for Benthic Habitat Mapping in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
Two additional modifiers are being added to the habitat categories found in the March 2003 draft release of the Atlas of the Shallow-water Benthic Habitats of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. They are 'substrate' and 'ledge'.
