Survey protocol at all sites consisted of an initial reconnaissance survey on which all algae, invertebrates and fishes that could be identified on site were listed and or photographed and collections of algae and invertebrates were collected for later laboratory identification. Following the reconnaissance surveys, quantitative estimates of coral and algal coverage and size and biomass of fishes along 25 m transects were conducted at each site and their locations were recorded using GPS. This dataset consists of the photographic images from this project (.jpg) with associated .mxd and .lyr files for use in a GIS, plus documentation. In a separate submission, NCEI Accession 0042684, quantitative results in spreadsheets are provided. The images could serve useful as new software becomes available for assessing coral and algae types and coverage via digital photographs. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0043046 Preview graphic PNG 0043046 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2008-06-25 publication BENTHIC COMMUNITIES BENTHIC SPECIES biological data CORAL FISH - CORAL REEF FISH SPECIES INVERTEBRATE SPECIES MACROALGAE MACROFAUNA MACROINVERTEBRATE CENSUS SPECIES IDENTIFICATION VERTEBRATES theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS camera GPS photograph instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological survey - biological survey - coral reef theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS SWIMMER/DIVER platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) CORAL REEF STUDIES HAWAII CORAL REEF INITIATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM (HCRI) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Hawaii Northeast Pacific Ocean (limit-180) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/INVERTEBRATES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/VERTEBRATES > FISH EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > PLANTS > MACROALGAE (SEAWEEDS) EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > BENTHIC EARTH SCIENCE > SOLID EARTH > GEOMORPHIC LANDFORMS/PROCESSES > COASTAL LANDFORMS > CORAL REEFS theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
