    • NCCOS Assessment: Assessment of Puerto Rico's coral reefs following Hurricanes Irma and Maria from 2017-09-16 to 2018-07-02 (NCEI Accession 0221189)

    Metadata Updated: November 1, 2023

    This dataset contains coral colony level damage assessment data collected during both stratified random transect surveys and opportunistically selected roving diver surveys from February 28 and May 7, 2018 in order to assess the impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria on Puerto Rico's shallow water (< 7m) coral reefs. A total of 147 transect surveys and 143 roving surveys were completed across 153 sites in hard bottom habitats surrounding mainland Puerto Rico and the islands of Vieques and Culebra, including the Arrecifes de la Cordillera Nature Reserve. In addition, this dataset includes site level triage data collected from September 16, 2017 to July 02, 2018. All data presented here are in text or shapefile format.
