Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program: Towed-diver Surveys of Benthic Habitat, Key Benthic Species, including Marine Debris Sightings, of the U.S. Pacific Reefs from 2000 to 2012

The towed-diver method is used to conduct benthic surveys, assessing large-scale disturbances (e.g., bleaching) and quantifying benthic components such as habitat complexity/type and the general distribution and abundance patterns of live coral, CCA, macroalgae, and macroinvertebrates. Surveys are conducted in the Hawaiian and Mariana Archipelagos, American Samoa, and the Pacific Remote Island...

拖曳潜水员法被用于进行底栖调查，评估大规模扰动（例如，漂白现象）以及量化底栖要素，如生境复杂性/类型以及活珊瑚、珊瑚钙藻、大型藻类和大型无脊椎动物的一般分布和丰富度模式。调查在海豚群岛、马里亚纳群岛、美属萨摩亚以及太平洋偏远岛屿等地进行。
