This dataset contains biological data collected at shoreside Guam during deployment Guam_Reef_Surveys_2014 in the North Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea from 2014-01-23 to 2014-05-07. These data include taxon_code. These data were collected by Dr Kiho Kim of American University, Dr Laurie J Raymundo of University of Guam Marine Laboratory, and Dr David M Baker of University of Hong Kong as part of the "Documenting bleaching susceptibility and resilience in Guam, Micronesia (Reef Resilience in Guam)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-02-05.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
At each of 15 sites, a 50m transect was laid out along the depth contour. 10-m segments were processed, equating to (5) 10m transects per site. The beginning and end points of transects were marked underwater and the transects were revisited three times within one year. All colonies within each 10m x 1m belt transect were:
-identified to species
-binned into one of six size categories based on the maximum diameter
-examined for lesions, tissue loss, physical damage, based on Raymundo et al. (2008)
-the amount of colony affected (Low, Medium, High) was visually estimated
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
