Support for Macroalgal Ecology and Taxonomic Assessment for Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program Sites, 2000-2002 for the Hawaiian Islands (NODC Accession 0000884)
The role that marine algae play in a coral reef system is often overlooked because of lack of knowledge that they are the primary producers in the system. The coral reef ecosystem in Hawaii contains about ten times more algal species than coral species, s...
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...
2001 Abundance Data Acquired in Support of Invasive Species Distribution Studies at 10 Macroalgal Ecology and Taxonomic Assessment Sites in Hawaii (NODC Accession 0000879)
Abundance data represent estimates of percent cover of species type (coral or algal) in 10 randomly placed quadrats along two 50 meter transect lines of each site. Data are available for 10 sites from Oahu to the Island of Hawaii taken in 2001 in support...
Anthropogenic and Natural Stresses on Coral Reefs in Hawaii: A Multi-Decade Synthesis of Impact and Recovery (NODC Accession 0001063)
In 2002, quantitative photo-transect surveys documenting coral community structure off six coastal sites in Hawaii were repeated to complete long-term data sets of 12 to 30 years duration. Study sites included areas fronting resort development, active and...
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...
Impact of Point and Non-point Source Pollution on Coral Reef Ecosystems In Mamala Bay, Oahu, Hawaii based on Water Quality Measurements and Benthic Surveys in 1993-1994 (NODC Accession 0001172)
The effects of both point and non-point sources of pollution on coral reef ecosystems in Mamala Bay were studied at three levels of biological organization; the cell, the population and the community. The results show a uniform lack of negative environmen...
Reef Core Data from the Hawaiian Islands for Analysis of El Nino control of Holocene Reef Accretion, 2000-2002 (NODC Accession 0000901)
Reef core samples from select sites on Kauai, Oahu, and Molokai were taken to study reef accretion. Most field work occurred between 1995-2002. Parameters derived include Substrate Description, Calibrated Core Age, and Calibrated Age Range.
Delta-15 Nitrogen from All Shores of Maui and Benthic, Algae, and Urchin Data from Kahekili, West Maui, 2007-2009 (NODC Accession 0068665)
The Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) established an Herbivore Fisheries Management Area (HFMA) in front of Kahekili Beach Park in West Maui that was effective on July 25th 2009. The basis for the Kahekili HFMA arises from decadal benthic data (...
Chlorophyll Data from the Old Outfall Site in the South Sector of Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii February 2001 to May 2004 (NODC Accession 0002805)
Kaneohe Bay received increasing amounts of sewage from
the 1950s through 1977. Most sewage was diverted from
the bay in 1977 and early 1978. Data were collected
beginning in September 1976 and continued until June
1979. The time series was re-establish...
Currents in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii 2005 - 2007 in Support of Fresh Water Plume Studies Performed by the Department of Oceanography
at the Univesity of Hawaii (NODC Accession 0040251)
Freshwater plumes from rain run-off into Kaneohe Bay is the
focus for the investigation. Measurements in this data set
are currents as measured by an moored Acoustic Doppler Current
Profiler (ADCP) and a Nortek current meter. Data were collected
during ...
