Optical data were collected by CRED TOAD camera sled aboard the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary small boat R/V Kohola cruise SB1505, NOAA small boat R/V AHI cruise MP1401, NOAA ship Hi'ialakai cruise HA0905 and aboard NOAA ship Oscar Elton Sette cruise SE1107, SE1006 & SE0807. Data were also collected with Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory's (HURL) RCV-150 remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in 2001-2002, 2004, 2006 and on the R/V Ka`imikai-o-Kanaloa cruise's; KOK1207, KOK0408, KOK0209, KOK0409, KOK1002 & KOK1102. Diver Photquadrant data were collected by the CRED Benthic Team in 2005-2006, 2008, 2010 & 2014. Drop camera data were collected by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 2002-2003 and 2011. To display locations of optical validation data in west Maui, Hawaii, collected by CRED TOAD camera sled, HURL RCV-150 ROV, CRED diver photoquads, USGS drop camera system, and the percent coverage of living scleractinian coral and sand occuring at these locations.

Topography of the seafloor consists of solution basins and rims (ridges), sediment plains and reef pinnacles, which were subaerially exposed during late Quaternary lowstands of sea level. Holocene reef growth occurs as a thin veneer on topographic highs. Depth reaches a maximum of 245 m at the northern extent, however the majority of the seafloor is less than 70 m deep, characterized by abundant sand deposits with macroalgae. Also notable are shallow to mesophotic coral reef ecosystems.
