This report covers coral reef ecosystem-related research and management activities conducted by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Coral Reef Conservation Program during Fiscal Years 2020-21 pursuant to the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 20...

Photoquadrat benthic images were collected at NCRMP climate stations and permanent sites identified by the Ocean and Climate Change team across the Mariana archipelago in 2014 according to protocols established by the Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) a...

The data described here result from benthic photo-quadrat surveys conducted along transects at stratified random sites across American Samoa in 2015 as a part of Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) surveys for corals and fish. Benthic habitat imagery were q...

Data provided in this data set were collected as part of the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) led NCRMP mission around the Marianas Islands in 2014. The stationary point count (SPC) method is used...

The data described here result from benthic photo-quadrat surveys conducted along transects at climate stations and permanent sites identified by the Ocean and Climate Change team across American Samoa in 2015. Benthic habitat imagery were quantitatively ...

The data described here are benthic habitat imagery that result from benthic photo-quadrat surveys conducted along transects at stratified random sites across American Samoa in 2015 as a part of Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) surveys for corals and fis...

The stationary point count (SPC) method is used to conduct reef fish surveys in the Hawaiian and Mariana Archipelagos, American Samoa, and the Pacific Remote Island Areas as part of the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The SPC method c...

The towed-diver method is used to conduct benthic surveys, assessing large-scale disturbances (e.g., bleaching) and quantifying benthic components such as habitat complexity/type and the general distribution and abundance patterns of live coral, CCA, macr...

Photoquadrat benthic images were collected at NCRMP climate stations and permanent sites identified by the Ocean and Climate Change team across American Samoa in 2015 according to protocols established by the Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) and the NO...

The data described here result from benthic coral demographic surveys for two life stages (juveniles, adults) across American Samoa in 2015. Juvenile colony surveys include morphology and size. Adult colony surveys record morphology, colony size, partial ...
