National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Towed-diver Surveys of Benthic Habitat, Key Benthic Species, and Marine Debris Sightings of the Hawaiian Archipelago in 2016

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, crustose coralline algae (CCA), macroalgae, and macroinvertebrates. Surveys are conducted in the Hawaiian and Mariana Archipelagos, American Samoa, and...

牵引潜水员法被应用于底栖调查，以评估大规模扰动（例如，白化现象）并量化底栖组分，如栖息地复杂度/类型以及活珊瑚、鳞状珊瑚藻（CCA）、大型藻类和大型无脊椎动物的总体分布和丰富度模式。调查在夏威夷群岛和马里亚纳群岛、美属萨摩亚等地进行。
