Partial mortality, size, presence, and density of Endangered Species Act-listed Acropora globiceps and Isopora crateriformis coral colonies in Tutuila, American Samoa from 2025-02-07 to 2025-03-22 (NCEI Accession 0312067)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 05:18 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 19, 2026 at 12:00 AM
This record describes Acropora globiceps and Isopora crateriformis raw density at the site level as well as colony-level partial mortality, size, and bleaching for each species. Surveys were conducted by SCUBA divers from February 4-26, 2025 and and March 10-27, 2025 in Tutuila, American Samoa by scientists of the Ecosystem Sciences division at the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, and this project was funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (NA24NMFX405C0005-T1-01). Related datasets include benthic fixed site photogrammetric imagery, an AI image classifier, genomics, thermal tolerance data, subsurface water temperature data, and will be described and accessible on the InPort metadata record https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/76360.
