Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Fish and substrate data collected in support of the West Hawaii Aquarium Project, 1999 - 2004 (NCEI Accession 0002288)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This data set consists of an MS Access relational database and exported CSV files of fish and substrate in situ observations from 1999-2004. The relational database includes some of data held in NCEI Accessions 0000938 and 0001467. However, the relational database of this accession has additional tables and included some different parameters.

In response to declines in reef fishes, the Hawaii state legislature created the West Hawaii Regional Fishery Management Area in 1998 to improve fishery resources (Act 306). The West Hawaii Aquarium Project (WHAP) was funded by the Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative to monitor fish populations and quantify the habitats in this region. During initial funding under Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) in 1998-99, 23 permanent study sites were established, positioned in all of the proposed Fish Replenishment Areas (FRAs). Additionally, eight sites were established where fish collecting is know to occur, and six managed areas where aquarium fish collection is prohibited (three Marine Life Conservation Districts (MLCDs) and three FMAs (Fishery Management Area).
