2005 EM300 and EM3002D Multibeam Sonar Data from Cruise Hi'ialakai HI-05-08 - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands

EM300 and EM3002D multibeam Data were collected from 11-31 October 2005 aboard NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai at Maro Reef and a seamount east of Nihoa Island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands during cruise HI-05-08. These multibeam data were collected using SAIC ISS-2000 software in the Generic Sensor Format and processed using SABER editing software. Surface sound velocity values were supplied by a Seabird SBE-45 MicroTSG and a SBE-38 remote temperature probe. Sound velocity corrections from a Seabird 911 CTD sensor and motion corrections from a POS-MV vertical reference were applied to the data in real time. Predicted tides were applied to the data in real time. Horizontal accuracy is 20 m (no differential GPS correctors applied), vertical accuracy is depth dependent (~1% of water depth), WGS84 datum. These data are not to be used for navigation. Depths mapped range from ~30-3000m. Concurrent mapping at Maro Reef was done by the R/V AHI in water depths ranging from 30-100m with the data set being AHI-05-08; metadata for AHI-05-08 are submitted separately.

Continuous bottom temperature measurements in strategic areas of the Florida Reef Tract at 9-FT Shoal, 2005 - 2007 (NODC Accession 0039533)

This ongoing project began in 1988. A total of 38 subsurface recording thermographs have been deployed in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS)and at other selected locations on the Florida Reef Tract and associated hydrologic ecosystems. These instruments have been programmed to record at 2 hour intervals and are placed in permanent housings attached to suitable substrate. Data retrieval, servicing and reprogramming for continuous deployment have occurred, on average, annually. Initially, the collected data are made available to FKNMS Managers and others who monitor and assess environmental conditions that influence FKNMS areas of the Florida Reef Tract. An archival copy of these data is maintained and available from the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center.

CRED REA Coral Health and Disease Assessment at Wake Atoll, Pacific Remote Island Areas in 2007

Coral health and disease assessments were conducted along 2 consecutively placed 25-m transects, as part of Rapid Ecological Assessments conducted at 12 sites at Wake Atoll in the Pacific Remote Island Areas during 19 April - 9 May 2007, aboard the NOAA Hi'ialakai Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) Cruise HI0701. Within an area of 1-3m on each side of both transect lines, each colony was inspected and every diseased/afflicted coral enumerated and identified to the lowest taxonomic level. For each affected coral the following information was recorded: colony size, type of affliction, area affected, percent live/dead, and severity of the affliction (mild = 1-10%, moderate = 11-25%, marked = 26-50%, severe = 51-75%, acute = 76-100%). Coral afflictions were classified into one of six general categories (following Willis et al., 2004) including: bleaching, tissue loss, black band disease, skeletal growth anomaly, predation, and other lesions. This latter category included algal overgrowth, as well as unidentified syndromes causing deterioration of scleractinian corals. Tissue samples of selected cases were procured for histopathological analyses. These data provide the basis for computing quantitative estimates of disease incidence and prevalence. Samples and photographs provide aid in further disease characterization and description. Histological tissue samples are traditionally fixed in a formaldehyde solution prior to preparation for processing and analysis.

CRED Rapid Ecological Assessment Reef Fish Survey at Agrihan, Marianas in 2011

To support a long-term NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) for sustainable management and conservation of coral reef ecosystems, from 20110407 to 20110509, reef fish assessment surveys were conducted, as a part of Rapid Ecological Assessments (REA), during the Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) Cruise HA1101 in the Marianas region by the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) at the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC). During the cruise, 20 REA sites were surveyed at Agrihan in the Marianas region. At each REA site, fish biologists entered the water and conducted a fine-scale (~700 m^2) and high degree of taxonomic resolution REA survey to assess and monitor species diversity, size distribution, and abundance of fish in shallow-water hard-bottom (less than 30 m) habitats. Reef fish assessment surveys were focused on cataloging the diversity (species richness), abundance (numeric density) and biomass (fish mass per unit area) of diurnally active reef fish assemblages. The stationary point count (SPC) method was used to quantify reef fish species. Two divers lay out a 30 m transect line, and position themselves at the 7.5 and 22.5 meter marks. The SPC biologist then records estimated size and abundance of all fish within a visually estimated 15-m diameter cylinder centered on the stationary diver (7.5-m radius, total area ~ 177m^2 per cylinder). The diver first spends 5 minutes identifying all fish species in the cylindrical area, then proceeds to count and estimate size (total length) for each in a series of "instantaneous" point counts or sweeps of the cylinder. Fish were identified at the species level, wherever possible. All reef-associated fish, including those in the water column, were surveyed. The survey time for each stationary point count survey was approximately 20 min and generally four stationary point count surveys (two per diver) were conducted at each fish REA site. After completing REA surveys, divers noted the presence, at the survey site, of any unusual fish species not counted during SPC counts, in order to facilitate species lists per location.

CRED Benthic Habitat Towboard Still Photos from Kingman Atoll in March and April, 2004

This data is in the form of JPEG still photos taken every 15 seconds from a benthic habitat towboard being towed by small boats at Kingman Island between March 26 and April 5, 2004. The towboard is operated by a SCUBA diver who maintains the camera approximately 1 meter above the bottom while being towed behind a small boat for a 50-minute tow. Depth of the water is between 0-25 meters, and the tows are completed in forereef, backreef, and lagoon habitats. The digital photos are taken by a Canon EOS 10-D camera with a 20-mm lens, using a remote control attachment to fire the camera automatically every 15 seconds. There are approximately 200 pictures on each CD-rom, which represent the photos from one 50-minute tow. Photo dimensions, if printed, would be 108.37 cm wide by 72.25 cm tall. The resolution at "Draft" quality (the lowest) is 72 pixels/inch. The resolution at "Best" quality (the highest) is 266 pixels/inch. System requirements for viewing the photos are any PC, Mac, or other operating system with software installed to view JPEG images such as Adobe Photoshop, ACDSee, Quicktime, Canon Digital Camera File Viewer Utility or other photo viewing software. Each photo is approximately 2 megabytes. With just over 200 images per cd, each cd is approximately 400 megabytes. These CD-roms are currently stored at the Kewalo Research Facility in Honolulu, HI and copies are kept at a storage unit in Kaimuki, several miles away from the Kewalo facility.

Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP): benthic data from digital still images made in 2008-2010 on Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii (NODC Accession 0104255)

This dataset consists of benthic data from the Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) taken 2008-2010 from 24 sites on within 5 main Hawaiian Islands (Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii). Most sites consist of two transects along different isobaths, shallow (~2-4m) and deep (~7-13m) lines. A total of 67 transects were completed between May 2008 - November 2010. Quantitative estimates of substrate type and species were acquired. The types and coverages were derived objectively from photographic images using PhotoGrid, a software package which analyzes random points on digital still images of coral reefs and substrate. This dataset does not include the images from the transects, which are accessioned within NOAA/NODC separately.
