Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP): benthic data from digital still Images made in 2007 on Maui, Molokai, and Kauai (NCEI Accession 0051060)

Graphic not available.

This dataset consists of CRAMP surveys taken in 2007 from 9 sites on Maui, 3 sites on Molokai, and and 1 site on Kauai. Sites typical have two transects along different isobaths, shallow (~3m) and deep (~10m) lines. Quantitative estimates of substrate type and species were acquired. The types and coverages were derived objectively from photographic images using PhotoGrid, a software package which analyzes random points on digital still images of coral reefs and substrate.

In a separate NCEI accession, 0056791, the photographic images used to obtain these quantitative estimates are archived.
