Digital still images from transects are also included. The datasets consist of image files (JPEG) of digital still photographs and spreadsheets (XLS with exported redundant CSV copies). CRAMP was created during 1997-98 by leading coral reef researchers, managers and educators in Hawaii. The initial task was to develop a statewide network consisting of over 30 long-term coral reef monitoring sites and an associated database. Upon completion of the monitoring network the focus was expanded to include rapid quantitative assessments and habitat mapping on a statewide spatial scale. Today the emphasis is on using these tools to understand the ecology of Hawaiian coral reefs in relation to other geographic areas. CRAMP study sites, including all areas of concern designated by the State of Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), were selected from throughout the State of Hawaii based on information provided by a wide spectrum of managers, scientists, and educators. These sites represent a full range of reef habitats subjected to various degrees of anthropogenic influences ranging from severely impacted to relatively pristine sites held in conservation status. The West Hawaii Aquarium Project has augmented CRAMP with surveys of fish at CRAMP sites on the west side of the Island of Hawaii. The purpose is to understand the ecology of Hawaiian coral reefs in relation to other geographic areas and to monitor change at each given site. The CRAMP experimental design allows detection of changes that can be attributed to various factors such as: overuse (over-fishing, anchor damage, aquarium trade collection, etc.), sedimentation, nutrient loading, catastrophic natural events (storm wave impact, lava flows), coastal construction, urbanization, global warming (bleaching), introduced species, algal invasions, and fish and invertebrate diseases. To develop a state-wide network consisting of over 30 long-term coral reef monitoring sites and associated data base, to develop rapid quantitative assessments and habitat mapping on a state-wide spatial scale, and using these tools to understand the ecology of Hawaiian coral reefs in relation to other geographic areas. 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:HIMB-CRAMP Preview graphic PNG 0000513 0000671 0000728 0000757 0000758 0000879 0000881 0000884 0000961 0000969 0001115 0001481 0001732 0002288 0002312 0002313 0002464 0002767 0037908 0039383 0039627 0051060 0052882 0056791 0104255 0104357 0117490 0119360 0145644 0147682 0157539 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2016-12-09 publication BENTHIC COMMUNITIES BENTHIC SPECIES BENTHIC SPECIES - TAXA IDENTITIES biological data BIOMASS - PLANKTON CORAL CORAL - CENSUS CORAL - COLONY SIZE CORAL - SPECIES IDENTIFICATION FISH - CORAL REEF FISH CENSUS FISH SPECIES FISHERY SURVEY FISHERY SURVEY - CATCH MEASUREMENTS - GENERAL HABITAT - BENTHIC HABITAT - SEDIMENT SIZE images PHOTOQUADRAT IMAGES REEF AND/OR BOTTOM REGIME - PERCENT COVER SPECIES IDENTIFICATION SUBSTRATE DESCRIPTION SUBSTRATUM PERCENT COVER Video Transect Images theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS camera chain GPS photograph video camera visual analysis visual estimate visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS benthic biological composition & location imagery in situ manual sample collection site samples survey - biological survey - coral reef survey - swimmer/diver visual estimate visual observation theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS SWIMMER/DIVER platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology Oceanic Institute University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Washington State University dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology Oceanic Institute University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Washington State University dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS COASTAL Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) CORAL REEF STUDIES Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment Monitoring Program (CRAMP) HAWAII CORAL REEF INITIATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM (HCRI) WEST HAWAII AQUARIUM PROJECT (WHAP) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Kaneohe Bay North Pacific Ocean Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument 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 UHI/SOEST/HIMB > Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaii 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.
