This dataset contains meteorological data collected during deployments SCUBA_Pinsky_Leyte_January2015, SCUBA_Pinsky_Leyte_June2014, SCUBA_Pinsky_Leyte_June2015, and SCUBA_Pinsky_Leyte_May2016 from 2012-05-05 to 2018-04-10. These data include depth, visibility, and wind_speed. The instruments used to collect these data include tracking tag. These data were collected by Malin Pinsky and Michelle Stuart of Rutgers University as part of the "RAPID: Mega-typhoon impacts on the metapopulation resilience of coral reef fishes (Reef Fish Resilience)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-10-28.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Anemone surveyor:
- searches adjacent area for anemone tag (anemone could have moved a few feet since last encounter)
- records time, species, size of anemone, tag number if present
- watches anemone and counts number of fish and estimate sizes (same procedure regardless of species)
- records species of fish, estimate sizes
- adds tag after the fact if one was missing or if there was only one zip tie tag (old system tag)
- flags anemone with flagging tape that it is ready to be hunted if APCL were present.

Fish catcher:
- waits for flagging tape to indicate anemone is ready for fish capture, ok to chase fish if they fled the area
- catches all fish of desired size range and places in holding vessel adjacent to anemone
- can move on to next anemone if anemone surveyor has flagged it
