In 2013 and 2015 the Belt Transect method was used to conduct fish surveys in the US Virgin Islands (USVI) as part of the ongoing National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The Belt Transect method collects and reports information on fish species composition, density, size, abundance and derived metrics (e.g., species richness, diversity). Surveys were concurrent with and along the same transect as the Line Point-Intercept (LPI) benthic survey. Starting in 2017 fish data were collected using the stationary point count method. This method collects and reports information on fish species composition, density, size structure, abundance and derived metrics (e.g., species richness, diversity). 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:NCRMP-Fish-USVI Preview graphic PNG 0176080 0216069 0224406 0270582 0294866 0313688 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2026-03-23 publication biological data FISH - CORAL REEF FISH BIOMASS FISH CENSUS FISH SPECIES HABITAT - BENTHIC REEF AND/OR BOTTOM REGIME - PERCENT COVER SPECIES IDENTIFICATION SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - COUNT SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - ORGANISM LENGTH theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS swimmer/diver visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological in situ survey survey - biological survey - coral reef survey - swimmer/diver visual estimate visual observation theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) CORAL REEF STUDIES National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Caribbean Sea North Atlantic Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication Coral World Ocean and Reef Initiative (CWORI) National Park Service (NPS) USVI Department of Planning and Natural Resources University of Miami (UM) University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) dataCentre Contributing Data Centers The Nature Conservancy US DOC; NOAA; NFMS; Southeast Fisheries Science Center (NMFS/SEFSC) US DOI; National Park Service (NPS) US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) USVI Department of Planning and Natural Resources University of Miami University of the Virgin Islands dataCentre Contributing Organizations DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NOS/NCCOS > National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, National Ocean Service, 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.

You can bypass ERDDAP's web pages and use ERDDAP's RESTful web services (for example, for searching for datasets, for downloading data, for making maps) directly from any computer program (for example, Matlab, R, or a program that you write) and even from web pages (via HTML image tags or JavaScript). CRCP Reef Fish Surveys USVI ERDDAP acts as a middleman between you and various remote data servers. ERDDAP offers an easy-to-use, consistent way to request data: via the OPeNDAP standard. Many datasets can also be accessed via ERDDAP's Web Map Service (WMS). ERDDAP returns data in the common file format of your choice. ERDDAP offers all data as .html table, ESRI .asc and .csv, Google Earth .kml, OPeNDAP binary, .mat, .nc, ODV .txt, .csv, .tsv, .json, and .xhtml. download https://doi.org/10.7289/v5f769mm HTTPS Web browser NCEI Dataset Landing Page Navigate directly to the URL for a descriptive web page with download links. information https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/metadata/granule/geoportal/?from=0&size=10&esdsl=%7B%22query%22%3A%7B%22bool%22%3A%7B%22must%22%3A%5B%7B%22query_string%22%3A%7B%22analyze_wildcard%22%3Atrue%2C%22query%22%3A%22fileid%3ANCRMP-Fish-USVI.*%22%7D%7D%5D%7D%7D%7D#searchPanel HTTPS Web browser Granule Search Search for data granules belonging to this collection (a granule is the smallest aggregation of data that can be independently described and retrieved). search series NCEI Accession 0176080 v1.1 was published. 2018-09-20T21:37:24Z NCEI Accession 0216069 v1.1 was published. 2020-08-06T19:14:47Z NCEI Accession 0176080 was revised and v2.2 was published. 2020-12-17T07:43:25Z NCEI Accession 0216069 was revised and v2.2 was published. 2020-12-17T23:15:24Z NCEI Accession 0224406 v1.1 was published. 2021-01-23T04:48:29Z NCEI Accession 0270582 v1.1 was published. 2022-11-29T01:31:00Z NCEI Accession 0294866 v1.1 was published. 2024-07-26T16:52:23Z NCEI Accession 0313688 v1.1 was published. 2026-04-15T13:20:34Z asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI.
