| Title: | National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Stratified random surveys (StRS) of reef fish, including benthic estimate data across the main Hawaiian Islands from 2019-04-21 to 2019-10-31 (NCEI Accession 0210958) |
| Abstract: | The reef fish and benthic estimate data provided in this data set are from stationary point count (SPC) surveys of reef fish conducted by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD, formerly the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division) from April 21 to October 31 during the ESD-led NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) mission around the main Hawaiian Islands in 2019. The SPC method catalogs the diversity (species richness), abundance (numeric density) and biomass (fish mass per unit area) of diurnally active reef fish assemblages in shallow-water (less than 30 m) hard-bottom habitats. Visual estimates of benthic cover and topographic complexity are also recorded, with benthic organisms grouped into broad functional categories (e.g., 'Hard Coral', 'Macroalgae'). A stratified random sampling (StRS) design is employed to survey the coral reef ecosystems throughout the main Hawaiian Islands. The survey domain encompasses the majority of the mapped area of reef and hard bottom habitats and the stratification includes island, reef zone, and depth. Sampling effort is allocated based on strata area. |
