| Title: | Biological assessment of marine resources for the Republic of the Maldives, Indian Ocean, August, 2001 (NODC Accession 0000670) |
| Abstract: | In August 2001, biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service were asked to conduct an assessment of the national government's capability to respond to major threats (e.g. anthropogenic and natural) to the marine habitat of the Republic of the Maldives. A marine survey was conducted at selected locations to assess impacts to the marine environment. Biologists documented reef fishes, corals, other macroinvertebrates, and algae, and provided general descriptions of the benthic community at each of four primary survey sites. |
