CRED REA Coral Population Parameters at Tutuila, American Samoa, 2004

Belt transects along 2 consecutively-placed, 25m transect lines were surveyed as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments conducted at 22 sites at Tutuila in American Samoa in February, 2004 from the NOAA vessel Oscar Elton Sette (OES04-02). Raw survey data included genus presence and relative abundance, colony counts and size classes, and visual estimation of percent cover. Either 0.5m or 1m on each side of the transect lines were included in the belt (for a total of 50m2 or 100m2 per site), depending on colony density.
