Title: Growth and mortality of corals on long-term monitoring sites in St. John, USVI from 1996-01-01 to 2016-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0277323)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological data collected at Virgin Islands National Park during deployment Edmunds_VINP from 1996-01-01 to 2016-12-31. These data include growth and taxon. These data were collected by Peter J. Edmunds of California State University Northridge as part of the "LTREB Long-term coral reef community dynamics in St. John, USVI: 1987-2019 (St. John LTREB)" and "RUI-LTREB Renewal: Three decades of coral reef community dynamics in St. John, USVI: 2014-2019 (RUI-LTREB)" projects. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:
