Title: Coral species, coral colony sizes and percent coverage data derived from photographic surveys at twenty-seven sites in the Hawaiian islands, 2000 - 2002 (NODC Accession 0002312)
Abstract: Fixed photoquadrats are used to examine trends of individual organisms with regards to growth, recruitment and mortality. Five haphazardly selected photoquadrats at each depth contour were established with 4 pins at each corner to ensure accurate repositioning of the frame. NODC Accession 0001115 consists of these photoquadrat images from CRAMP surveys taken from 1999 to 2002 at 27 sites within the main Hawaiian Islands. Some locations have multiple depths. Surveys were taken once per year. Field work coincided with video transects.

This data set consists of an MS Access relational database and subsequently derived spreadsheets based on these tables. The data were generated by PointCount99 on the images found in NODC Accession 0001115. The PointCount output (not included) is the raw data while the Access database files (MDB) are summary files as well as select raw data.
