Dear Zach and Sarah,

I hope this message finds you well. It's been a long time since I wrote you. It's time for a Puerto Rico Coral Reef Monitoring Program (PRCRMP) database update. I suppose 
you are still working with NOAA NCEI(?) So here I go.

With the informed consent of my supervisors at the Puerto Rico DNER, I would like to request to update data files and supporting documentation in the PRCRMP Database Compilation 
NCEI Accession 0204647. Data has been updated with the 2022-2023 monitoring cycle including all 42 currently monitored stations. The data dictionary and field methodology have a 
few minor updates to account for new species occurrences and taxonomy updates, and a list defining benthic species groupings. The station's metadata (site classification database) 
has been updated accordingly.

Attached are the updated data files and dictionary. 

Please let me know if there is any question or if you find any issues with the submitted files.

Thanks for your continued attention and support!
