Hawaii Coral Bleaching Collaborative: surveys for percent of bleached coral cover across the Hawaiian Archipelago from October 02 to November 18, 2015 (NCEI Accession 0246373)
The data described here result from coral bleaching surveys across the Hawaiian Archipelago from October 02 to November 18, 2015. The data provide survey-level information on percent live coral cover and the percentages of coral unbleached, partially, and fully bleached. The data were collected during a multi-institutional effort by the Hawaii Coral Bleaching Collaborative (HCBC) to build a comprehensive dataset of the spatial extent and severity of bleaching in the Hawaiian Archipelago during the peak of the forecasted 2015 coral bleaching event. This dataset is a compilation of data supplied by: NOAA Fisheries Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD); State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR); Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB); The University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM); The Nature Conservancy (TNC); and NOAA Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary (HIHWNMS).
Coral bleaching surveys were conducted at 546 sites using varying methods per institution that included: belt transects (colony level assessments, visual estimates, video, line-point intercept), sUAS photogrammetry, photoquadrats, and towed-diver surveys . Metrics that were recorded include total percent live coral cover, percent coral unbleached, percent coral fully bleached, and percent coral partially bleached.
