Title: Pacific Islands Coral Reef Ecosystems Division (CRED) Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) algae species lists (NODC Accession 0010352)
Abstract: Quadrats were sampled along consecutively placed transect lines as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments conducted at sites in American Pacific Islands:
CRED REA Algal Assessments Pacific Remote Island Areas 2004
CRED REA Algal Assessments Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas and Guam 2003
CRED REA Algal Assessments Northwest Hawaiian Islands 2002, 2003, and 2004
CRED REA Algal Assessments American Samoa 2004
REA Algae Assessments MHI 2005

Raw survey data included genus presence and relative abundance, and voucher
specimens. Detailed taxonomic analyses of voucher specimens are presented.

Purpose: Part of an initial assessment program in which corals, algae, fish, and other macroinvertebrates are co-sampled along the same set of transect lines.

Supplementary information: The NODC developed replicate algal species lists and placed them in the 1-data folder. These lists are a check of the originator algal species names against names as listed in the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS; http://www.itis.gov/) and Algaebase
(http://www.algaebase.org/) to facilitate the development of search engines against an international taxonomic standard.
