    Description:
      Abstract: This data set was centralized for the Marine Gap Analysis
Project of the Hawaii Natural Heritage Program.  It was
obtained from various principle investigators for a multitude
of projects.  It includes surveys from 183 locations on
the eight main Hawaiian Islands.  The data were placed in 
a relational database.
      Purpose: Each component of this data set had a unique objective.
It was used by the Hawaii Natural Heritage Program for
marine gap analysis.
