    • NCCOS Assessment: Fish and benthic communities in the East End Marine Park, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands from 2022-04-25 to 2022-06-18 (NCEI Accession 0290374)

    Metadata Updated: September 2, 2025

    This dataset includes fish count and benthic cover data collected at 138 sites during 2022 in East End Marine Park (EEMP), St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Fish were counted, identified to species, and sized along a transect (Menza et al. 2006, Pittman et al. 2013). Biological benthic data was collected along the transect using the line point intercept method wherein cover types were identified on hard, soft, and rubble substrates (CRCP 2022).
