Benthic cover derived from photo transects in Fagaʻalu, American Samoa from 2015-10-29 to 2015-11-11 (NCEI Accession 0169725)

Description

The benthic cover data described herein were generated by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program (CREP) from the quantitative analysis of photoquadrat benthic images using image analysis software, whereby random points are projected on each image and the benthic elements falling directly underneath each point are identified. The images were collected at sites in Fagaʻalu Bay in 2015 during belt transect surveys of coral demography. The benthic images and coral demography data are described and archived separately.
