Description
Belt transects along 1 or 2 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines were surveyed as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments conducted at 19 sites at Hawaii Island in the Main Hawaiian Islands in February and March, 2005 from the NOAA vessel Oscar Elton Sette (OES05-02). Raw survey data included species presence and relative abundance, colony counts and size classes, and visual estimation of percent cover. Depending on colony density, 0.5 or 1 m was included in the belt on each side of the transect liners (for a total of 25-100m2 per site).
