Keppel Islands reefs mapping data 2008-2010

The project surveyed 35 sites, on 19 dive sites in the inshore fringing reefs of the Keppels region of the southern Great Barrier Reef between 2008 and 2010. Reefs were selected using a combination of aerial photographs and local knowledge of key biodiversity hotspots within reefs based on their representation of the surrounding reef community. Data collected was entered into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and CPCe (Coral Point Count) and analysed with Image Analysis software. Excel spreadsheet details Species diversity indices, coral cover summary, coral survey transects, temperature data, families at sites, symbiont diversity, Kd and species at sites.
