| Title: |
National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Assessment of fish communities in the Florida Reef Tract from 2020-06-29 to 2021-10-27 (NCEI Accession 0253454) |
| Abstract: |
The stationary point count method (7.5m radius cylinder) is used to conduct fish surveys in Florida as part of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). This method collects and reports information on species composition, density, size structure, abundance and derived metrics (e.g., species richness, diversity). Data provided in this data set are from two (2) distinct regions along the Florida reef tract; 1) Dry Tortugas, and 2) Miami north to Martin County. Data are collected using a 2-stage, stratified random survey design. Lead agencies involved include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Southeast Fisheries Science Center (NOAA Fisheries) and National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS). |

| Supplementary information: |
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, NCRMP sampling could not occur to its regular extent during the 2020 season. The data in this accession represent what NCRMP was able to collect during that period and supplement in 2021. Florida Keys data was not able to be collected as it normally is, though the sampling grid is still included in this accession. |
