Monitoring of Coral Reef Ecosystems on Maui, Hawaii during 1989-1998 (NCEI Accession 9900242)

Metadata Updated: March 1, 2025

In an effort to detect spatial and temporal changes in the structure of the coral reef community, coral coverage and reef fish density and diversity were documented at selected sites along the Maui coastline using standard transect methodology and SCUBA. Physical parameters examined included: wave exposure, water motion, sedimentation levels and water quality (temperature, salinity, and turbidity). Nine long-term monitoring sites have been established since 1989.
