Spawning aggregations are an important event in the life-history of many coral reef fish species. During short time periods (typically during full moons), fish will aggregate to spawn at discrete locations along a coral reef tract. Locations of historic...
Assess/monitor effects of MPA status on reef fish populations and spawning aggregations in the Tortugas Ecological Reserves
We supply abundance information of fish species along multiple randomly oriented transects at the lowest possible taxonomic level. This information is collected from multiple stations on an annual or biennial basis.
Habitat characterization of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve south using photographic and quadrat methods.
We supply habitat characterization data along a single randomly oriented transect at each of 16 sampling stations in the Tortugas South Ecological Reserve. This information is collected from multiple stations on an intermittent or biennial basis.
Inlet contributing areas to southeast Florida inlets and adjacent coral reefs
The inlet contributing areas (ICAs) were delineated using the WATERSHED feature class in the SFWMD_s ArcHydro Extended Database. The watershed boundaries were modified based on the flow direction in the HYDROEDGE feature class, published reports for the S...
Salinity control structures for estuaries associated with southeast Florida inlets
The salinity control structures (SCSs) were selected from the STRUCTURES feature class in the SFWMD's ArcHydro Extended Database. The SCSs were selected visually and verified with technical input from South Florida Watershed Management District (SFWMD) pe...
Hydroacoustic Biomass Assessment of Reef Fish Spawning Aggregations in Western Puerto Rico (CRCP ID# 1242-05/06/07).
The data set consists of two products. The first product are maps that represent fish average densities collected by active hydroacoustic survey technique in the water column along a transect for each monthly sample. These data are also compiled by loca...
PIRO Fishery Biologist with local agency partners from Guam Environmental Protection Agency and University of Guam Marine Laboratory gathered photographic and GPS data to document impacts to the reef and evaluate removal methods.
Fouha Bay Moving Window Analysis,
Benthic Quadrat Surveys at Guam in 2014
PIRO Fishery Biologist gathered benthic cover data using a 1m2 quadrat with 25 intersecting points every five meters along a transect running from the inner bay to the outer bay. Biotic cover classes were identified to lowest possible taxon. Data is suppo...
Guam Long-term Coral Reef Monitoring Program Reef Fish Surveys FY2014
The Government of Guam's Long-term Coral Reef Monitoring Program, coordinated by the University of Guam Marine Lab, involves the collection of data for a suite of coral reef ecosystem health parameters at several high priority reef sites around the island...
Assessment of Take Maru Grounding, Cocos Lagoon, Guam. 2014.
PIRO Fishery Biologist with local agency partners from Guam Environmental Protection Agency and Guam Department of Agriculture gathered photographic and GPS data to document impacts to the reef and evaluate removal methods.
