Benthic data for corals, macroalgae, invertebrates, and non-living bottom types from Fagatele Bay, Pago Pago, and Fagasa, American Samoa, 2004-2008 (NCEI Accession 0066319)
This data set was derived from surveys in Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Pago Pago (Rainmaker and Aua), and Fagasa (Sita Bay and Cape Larsen) conducted in 2004 and 2007-2008. Parameters include coral, algal, or invertebrate species, coral colony diameter size, and non-living bottom type.
Summaries of species identification from sites above and Ofu-Olosega Islands, Ta'u Island, Aunu'u, Manu'a, and Rose Atoll, based on historic surveys back to 1917 are also given in spreadsheets. This is a working list put together by Dr. Charles Birkeland.
Fish data were collected by Dr. Alison Green on the same dates and transects and are available in a separate NODC accession.

Purpose | The purpose of the ongoing monitoring of coral reef communities is todocument the recovery, or further decline, of coral and fish communities inFagatele Bay, and elsewhere around Tutuila, and to determine if reefcommunities have changed substantially since the combined effects of A. plancioutbreaks and hurricanes that devastated American Samoa reefs in the past 30years. |
