Hawaii Institute for Marine Biology and NOAA National Ocean Service, Marine Sanctuary Program Partnership, in affiliation with the Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program, 2007 Survey of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve: Benthic Data from Digital Still Images (NCEI Accession 0000881)

Rapid Assessment Transects were conducted in 2007 in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument of the Northwest Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. The surveys were led by Dr. Paul Jokiel and Mr. Erik Franklin along various depth contours at 7 unique atolls or islands. The data are quantitative estimates of substrate type and species provided in spreadsheet format (comma-separated version, CSV, text files). The types and coverages were derived objectively from photographic images using PhotoGrid, a software package which analyzes random points on images of coral reefs and substrate. This dataset does not include the images from the transects, which have been provided to NOAA separately. Images can be found in NCEI accession 0052882.

Purpose The surveys provide an important assessment of the status of the coral ecosystem. For CRAMP purposes, the surveys expand the spatial range of habitats and add to the extensive database for the main Hawaiian Islands. These will augment the CRAMP Ecological Gradient Model to compare sites throughout the archipelago and to assess the condition of the sites.
