Description
Belt transects along 1 or 2 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines were surveyed as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments conducted at 11 sites at Rose Atoll in American Samoa in March, 2006 from the NOAA vessel Hi'ialakai (HI0602). Raw survey data included colony counts and size classes by genus, and visual estimation of percent cover. Half a meter( 0.5m) on each side of the transect lines were included in the belt (for a total of 25m2 or 50m2 per site), depending on colony density.
