Coral reef monitoring data from sites across Micronesia from 2009-09-29 to 2019-08-20 (NCEI Accession 0162463)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: October 03, 2025 | Last Modified: 2021-11-05T00:00:00.000+00:00

Benthic, fish, and macroinvertebrate census data are collected from sites around Micronesia as part of the ongoing Micronesia Challenge. Information on the program can be found at (www.micronesiareefmonitoring.com). Survey sites are selected around each island to be representative of natural environmental gradients, management, and major reef types. Thus, full site designs can be used to evaluate both island trends and site-specific trends. The data in this submission include fish counts, macroinvertebrate counts, and benthic species identification and percent cover.
