Coral Cover Time Series on Permanent Phototransects

This spreadsheet shows coral cover measured on 4 permanent 10m long transects at Site A and described in detail in Brown (2011). The photo-transects have been photographed at least annually since 1983 -2018 and on some occasions 2-3 times a year. The transects are named 9, 11, 14 and 15 and represent transects (parallel to the shore) which are 90, 110, 140 and 150m respectively from the shoreline Reference: Brown, B.E., Dunne, R.P., Phongsuwan, N., Somerfield, P.J.
