STATION DESCRICTIONS

Station 1 and 2- Inner harbor supply dock and recreational fishing/dive dock. 
(depth 0- 10 m) ~ Two concrete and wooden piers, just inside the harbor entrance 
to the north, protected from oceanic conditions.

Station 3- Harbor sheet piling (depth 0-6m)
Metal sheet piling along the inside of the harbor on the south side.

Station 4- Fuel farm piers (depth 0- 13 m)
Large concrete piers on northeast corner of Sand Island used as a fueling station. 
The concrete pilings of this pier were heavily fouled with introduced bryozoans, 
primarily Amathia distans, with some Schizoporel/a errata as well. 

Station 5- West Beach sewage pipe (depth 1- 4 m)
Nonfunctional metal sewage pipe on West Beach extending to the northwest about 100m. 

Station 6- South shore wreck (depth 5- 15 m)
This half-submerged barge on the reef crest near the channel entrance was free of 
many of the typical fouling organisms present inside the harbor. 

Station 7- East Island pier (depth 0-8m)
Small concrete and wooden dock on the north side of Eastern Island.

Station 8- Lagoon ranger marker (depth 0-10m)
Range marker to the northeast of Sand Island, surrounded by extensive sand

Station 9- East Island backreef
Off the southeast corner of Eastern Island.  Habitat was a typical shallow
backreef and exposed reef flat.

Station 10- Reet Hotel (depth 0- 3 m)
Shallow backreet and reet flat on tar the northeast portion ot the atoll. Habitats 
at this station included artificial and natural substrates. "Reet Hotel" is the 
former location ot a geological field station; only the metal pole supports ot the 
field station remain in the shallow backreet protected by an exposed bench. 

Station 11- Harbor boat ramp wrack (high tide line)
Marine plant lite at the high tide mark adjacent to the boat ramp was sampled for 
peracarid crustaceans. 

Station 12- Eastern Island sand flat (3 m)
Carbonate sediments on the north side ot Eastern Island were also sampled to 
investigate peracarid crustaceans.
