Published by NOAA/NESDIS/NODC/NCDDC | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 07:50 AM | Dataset Last Updated: January 06, 2021 at 12:00 AM
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.
