| Title: | Hawaii Coral Bleaching Collaborative: Rapid visual assessment surveys for percent and severity of bleached coral cover across the Hawaiian Archipelago from 2019-08-27 to 2019-11-15 (NCEI Accession 0209239) |
| Abstract: | The data described here result from coral bleaching surveys across the Hawaiian Archipelago from August 27 to November 15, 2019. The data provide information on live coral cover and the percentage and average severity that was bleached, as well as taxa-specific metrics (live cover and the percentage and severity that was bleached). The data were collected during a multi-institutional effort by the Hawaii Coral Bleaching Collaborative (HCBC) to build a comprehensive dataset of the spatial extent and severity of bleaching in the Hawaiian Archipelago during the peak of the forecasted 2019 coral bleaching event. This dataset is a compilation of data supplied by: NOAA Fisheries Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD); State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR); Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Sandin Lab; Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB), Coral Reef Ecology Lab; and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) of Hawaii. Coral bleaching surveys were conducted by divers on snorkel or SCUBA using a rapid visual assessment methodology along belt transects at both fixed and random sites. The random sites were selected by employing a stratified-random sampling design; sampling effort was allocated based on the area of the survey domain and sites were randomly located within the domain. Sites were surveyed for live coral cover, the percentage of living coral that was bleached, and the average severity of bleached corals. Surveys conducted in the Main Hawaiian Islands were conducted during shore-based missions, whereas surveys in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands were performed opportunistically during the regularly scheduled NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) mission. |
