Reef Health Monitoring (RHM) Benthic and Fish Biomass PMI Data Compilation

Description

These two sets of data can be used to describe the condition of Indonesia Marine Protected Area in Fisheries Management Area (FMA) of 715; especially for Maluku and North Maluku Provinces in Indonesia from the years 2016 to 2020 with the data only from the No-Take area of the Marine Protected Area. The methodology of these two datasets are: 1. Reef Health Monitoring (RHM) Benthic PMI Data Compilation : point intercept transect. 50 meter long transect, at every 50 centimetres the type of benthic was noted. Type of benthic is hard coral. The transect was laid at depths of 3 to 5 meters depth or 8 to 10 meters. One survey point has three transect replications. 2. Reef Health Monitoring (RHM) Fish Biomass PMI Data Compilation : underwater visual census. 50 meter long and 2 to 5 meters wide belt transect for 0 to 35 centimetres fish species, 50 meter long and 5 to 20 meters wide belt transect for more than 35 centimetres fish species. Fish species was grouped per family, subfamily, genus and trophic group, the survey was conducted at two depths of 3 to 5 meters and 8 to 10 meters. One survey point has five belt transect replications.

21 The dataset describes the biomass of target fish families inside the No Take Areas site of a Marine Protected Area which surveyed in the two years in certain depths (shallow and deep). The dataset is a smaller version of the fish raw dataset compilation only for the purpose of Performance Management Indicator (PMI) analysis. https://data.usaid.gov/d/vn2z-mq6v
21 The dataset describes the condition of hard coral cover at shallow or deep depth of the No-Take Area (NTA) site in a Marine Protected Area. Gomez and Yap, 1988 describe 0 - 24.9% hard coral cover indicates a bad environment, 25 - 49.5% moderate, 50 - 74.5% good and 75 - 100% best. The dataset only contains hard coral cover condition in the NTA surveyed in two years from the benthic raw data compilation for the purpose of Performance Management Indicator (PMI) analysis. https://data.usaid.gov/d/mh45-p72k
