First reported in Pearl Harbor, it now occurs in virtually every commercial harbor in the main Hawaiian islands, where it can be a major component of the fouling community on harbor piers and jetties. It has been reported from a few coral reef locations near harbors, but in Kaneohe Bay it has become a major component of the benthic biota in the south bay in the last 5-10 years. A study was conducted in 2004-2005 to determine Mycale armata's distribution, abundance throughout the bay, its growth rates on permanent quadrats, and whether mechanical removal would be an effective management technique for its control. Results from 190 manta board surveys on 28 reefs and paired 25 m belt transects using photo quadrats on 19 reefs indicated that the sponge had maximal coverage in the south-central part of the bay, in the vicinity of Coconut Island. To determine Mycale armata's distribution, abundance throughout the bay, its growth rates on permanent quadrats, and whether mechanical removal would be an effective management technique for its control. 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:0002602 Preview graphic PNG 0002602 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2006-03-14 publication ANIMALS - GROUP - BEHAVIOR BENTHIC COMMUNITIES BENTHIC SPECIES biological data CORAL HABITAT HABITAT - BENTHIC INVERTEBRATE SPECIES MACROALGAE MACROFAUNA MACROINVERTEBRATE CENSUS PHOTOQUADRAT IMAGES SPECIES - PERCENT OCCURRENCE SPECIES IDENTIFICATION SPECIES WET WEIGHT PER SAMPLE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS camera GPS laboratory analysis swimmer/diver visual estimate visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS benthic biological composition & location survey - biological survey - coral reef survey - swimmer/diver visual estimate visual observation 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 COASTAL Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) CORAL REEF STUDIES project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Hawaii Kaneohe Bay North Pacific Ocean Northeast Pacific Ocean (limit-180) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center 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.
