Fish and macroinvertebrate survey data collected from coral reef monitoring sites in West Hawaii from 2022-04-06 to 2024-10-24 (NCEI Accession 0288838)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: July 28, 2026 at 08:55 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 03, 2026 at 12:00 AM
The State of Hawaii DLNR (Department of Land and Natural Resources) DAR (Division of Aquatic Resources) marine monitoring team conducted surveys for fish and large mobile invertebrates along the West Hawaii coastline. Data were recorded along 5x25 meter transects at random sites going as far south as Manuka and as far North as Upolu Point. Data collection for one transect was completed at each site. Data are provided as individual observations noting species, quantity, and size of fish and species and quantity of invertebrates.
