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.

| Reef Health Monitoring (RHM) Benthic PMI Data Compilation | HTML | 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. | Open resource |
| Reef Health Monitoring (RHM) Fish Biomass PMI Data Compilation | HTML | 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. | Open resource |
