Density of sea fans from surveys in St. John, US Virgin Islands in August of 2020 (NCEI Accession 0292192)
This dataset contains physical data collected in the Caribbean Sea from 2020-08-09 to 2020-08-13. These data include density and depth. These data were collected by Peter J. Edmunds of California State University Northridge and Darren J Brown of Pennsylvania State University as part of the "RUI: Pattern and process in four decades of change on Caribbean reefs (St John Coral Reefs)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2022-02-14.
The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:
Acquisition Description:
Analyses were completed on snorkel during August 2020. A 40 m transect was haphazardly placed along the 2-2.5 m depth contour at each site, and quadrats (1 x 1m) were randomly placed along the transect. Colonies of Gorgonia ventalina were counted in each quadrat when their holdfasts were within the sampling area. Colonies were distinguished between the yellow and purple morph.
Location: St. John, US Virgin Islands 18.315°N, 64.716°W
White Point = site on the south shore of St. John 18.316899N, -64.731651W
Yawzi Point = site on the south shore of St. John 18.315582N, -64.725955W
