This dataset contains biological, meteorological, and survey - biological data collected from 2014-06-08 to 2017-05-08. These data include abundance, depth, taxon, taxon_code, and visibility. 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 2022-11-22.

Acquisition Description:
Field seasons (SCUBA) in Leyte, Philippines to study coral reef fish resilience.
Location: West coast of Leyte, Philippines in the municipalities of Albuera (10.91667, 124.69667) and Bay Bay City (10.676940, 124.799170)

Fish and invertebrate surveyor procedure:

- records dive and transect attributes:

- dive number

- transect number

- site name

- date

- time

- observer initials

- visibility (meters)

- depth at start of transect (feet)

- depth at end of transect (feet)

- transect length (meters)

- transect width (meters)

- expected transect duration (minutes)

- swim the length of a 25m by 5m transect in 20 minutes and record all fish (>2 cm, non-cryptic) within transect bounds

- swim back along the length of a 25m by 5m transect in 10 minutes and record all invertebrates within transect bounds

- record any additional notes

Instruments:
