Data were recorded along 5x25 meter transects at random sites going as far south as Manuka and as far North as Upolu Point. Data collection for one transect was completed at each site. Data are provided as individual observations noting species, quantity, and size of fish and species and quantity of invertebrates. These data were collected to monitor the reef fish and invertebrate assemblages of West Hawaii and provide data to the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Aquatic Resources for fishery management interpretation and decision making.
