The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

Title: | Line-point intercept surveys for benthic cover in Hawaii, Maui, and Oahu from 2010-03-08 to 2011-11-08 (NCEI Accession 0168913) |
Abstract: | This data package contains benthic habitat data gathered during Line-Point-Intercept belt-transect surveys as part of a joint NESDIS-NMFS-State of Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources project. At specific sites coral biologists conducted Line-Point-Intercept (LPI) and coral belt surveys, focused at quantifying the composition and relative abundance of the anthozoan and hydrozoan corals. The surveys were conducted along two consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines. The LPI surveys documented the composition of the coral reef community at 25 or 50cm intervals, for 50 or 100 points per transect. The belt width was 1-m wide (0.5-m on each side of the transect line), for community structure assessments. Within each 25m transect, up to 15, 1.0-meter segments were surveyed, whereby in each segment, all coral colonies whose center fell within 0.5m of either side of the transect line were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible (genus or species). Raw survey data include species presence and colony counts per taxon. The surveyed area ranged from 25m2 to 50m2 per site. |
