Raw survey data included species presence and relative abundance, colony counts and size classes by genus, and determination of benthic cover using the line-intercept method. Depending on colony density, 1 m on each side of the transect lines was included in the belt (for a total of 25-50m2 per site). Part of a long-term monitoring program at biennial intervals in which corals, algae, fish, and other macroinvertebrates are co-sampled along the same set of transect lines.

Efforts were made to include broad spatial coverage of the reef area, but weather conditions or other environmental constraints may have precluded the team from surveying windward or exposed sites. With the exception of the non-quantitative survey along the backreef, the same methods of data collection were used at each of the sites surveyed at this location, and were conducted by the same scientists. A diver swam along the length of one or two 25m transect lines that had been laid out along an isobath. The diver identified all corals whose center fell within .5m on either side of the transect to the species/genus level and estimated the sizeassigned each colony a size class based on estimates of the maximum diameter of the colony ( 5 cm; 5-10 cm; 10-20 cm; 20-40cm; 40-80 cm; 80-160 cm; or greater than 160 cm). annually This metadata was automatically generated from the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2016-01-11 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform.
