Summary
| Description | The data described here are Structure from Motion (SfM) benthic habitat imagery from benthic transect surveys conducted at stratified random sites by the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD)--formerly the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division--as part of the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). The SfM surveys replicates the visual Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) survey methodology for corals conducted during ESD-led NCRMP missions across the Pacific Ocean beginning in 2019. A stratified random sampling (StRS) design was employed to survey the coral reef ecosystems across the U.S. Pacific Regions (Hawaiian Archipelago, Mariana Archipelago, American Samoa, and the Pacific Remote Island Areas). The survey domain encompassed the majority of the mapped area of reef and hard bottom habitats in the 0-30 m depth range. The stratification scheme included island, sub-island sector, reef zone, and depth in all regions, as well as habitat |
