Northern Mariana Islands Marine Monitoring Team Reef Flat Surveys
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands' (CNMI) interagency marine monitoring team conducts surveys on reef flat areas on the islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota in an effort to assess change in benthic communities over time. The program encourages volunteer participation from government and public sector under the supervision of professional government biologists. The data collected include benthic cover and invertebrate abundance. Coral community composition was added to the surveys in 2009.
