Description
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islandsâ Long-term Marine Monitoring Program (LTMMP) has extensively gathered monitoring data across the region. LTMMP divers have collected data from shallow fore reef habitats, seagrass areas, and back reefs. Using a range of survey techniquesâsuch as quadrats, stationary point count (SPC), and belt transectsâalong three to five 50-meter transects. Quadrats were utilized to assess percent coral and benthic cover, while also enabling the calculation of coral size distribution and diversity. SPCs provided estimates for fish biomass and diversity. In parallel, belt transects were employed to determine macroinvertebrate density and diversity.
