Title:Substrate and species data from Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) Rapid Assessment Transect surveys from 2006 in the coastal waters of Hawaii, 22 June - 12 December 2006 (NODC Accession 0039383)
Abstract:This dataset consists of CRAMP Rapid Assessment Transect surveys taken
in 2006 and includes quantitative estimates of substrate type and
species. In 2006, there were 8 sites surveyed on Maui. Surveys typically
consist of shallow (~3m) and deep (~10m) lines. The types and coverages
were derived objectively from photographic images using PhotoGrid, a
software package which analyzes random points on images of coral reefs
and substrate. This dataset does not include the images from the
transects.

Still images related to the quantitative estimates in this data
collection are accessible in NODC Accession 0039627 at
http://data.nodc.noaa.gov/accession/0039627.

Purpose: To understand the ecology of Hawaiian coral reefs in relation
to other geographic areas and to monitor change at each given site.
