Description
Guam community members gathered benthic cover data using a 0.25m2 quadrat with 6 intersecting points at each meter along a 25-meter transect. Members identified corals and algae to genus (when possible), seagrass to species, and sponges to phylum. Data is supported by photos from the sites. Members collect a total of 150 data points for each transect.
