Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Quantitative survey of the corals of American Samoa, 1995 (NCEI Accession 0001972)

browse graphicPreview graphic
A survey of coral communities was carried out in the American Samoa Archipelago to assess the current status of coral reefs and provide a rigorous quantitative baseline dataset for future monitoring of these reefs. Five replicate belt transects were used to estimate the size structure, density and percent cover of corals at 29 locations around Tutuila and Manu'a Islands during October and November, 1995. Data are in .xls and .csv format with associated document files
