Source: These data were provided on CD by Dr. Steve Coles of the 
Bishop Museum on behalf of the Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative
to Hawaii Liaison, Patrick Caldwell, US DOC; NOAA; 
NESDIS; National Centers for Environmental Information. 

Action(s): Patrick Caldwell served as Data Content Manager and 
transferred the archival information package to Francis Mitchell, who
in turn placed the original data in data/0-data and files generated by
NCEI in data/1-data.

Update note July 2009:  These data are also listed in the NOAA Coral Reef 
Information System (CoRIS).

October 2009:  Updated Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata 
from the CoRIS system was added to the "about" subdirectory.  This updated 
metadata version includes International Organization for 
Standardization (ISO) keywords.
