Pacific Island Network Benthic Marine Community and Marine Fish Monitoring Data Package 2006 - 2023
The Benthic Marine Communities Monitoring Protocol is implemented in four parks in the Pacific and addresses two monitoring questions: What are the changes over time in the composition (e.g., species or assemblage) and physical structure (rugosity) of the coral reef benthos? And what are the changes over time in settlement, growth, survival, and health of targe coral assemblages, species, or individuals? Note: Growth and survival data has not been collected due to lack of resources to do so. The Marine Fish Monitoring Protocol is conducted in the same parks and sampling location sites, and addresses one monitoring question: What are the long-term trends in the numerical density, biomass, and size of reef fishes? Sampling location sites were randomly selected on hard substrata in an isobath between the 10- and 20-meter depths. This data package contains data collected for these two protocols.
