Seringapatam Reef baseline Surveys 2012 - 2013 (ConocoPhillips)

Characterization of shallow water (A series of marked transects were established at multiple depths and locations around Seringapatam Reef. Six locations on the outer reef slope and adjacent reef flat, together with four within the reef lagoon. Where possible, these sites included and extended sampling locations previously surveyed by AIMS Heyward et al. (2010). A diver-based assessment of shallow reef habitats and an assessment of coral spawning condition, with funding from Conoco Phillips.浅海水域生境特征表征：在塞林加帕坦礁（Seringapatam Reef）周边的多个深度与站位区域布设了一系列标记样带。其中6个站位位于礁外坡及毗邻礁坪，另有4个站位设于礁湖内部。在可行范围内，本次采样点位涵盖并拓展了此前由AIMS的Heyward等人（2010年）所调查的采样位点。本研究通过潜水员实地开展浅礁生境评估与珊瑚产卵状况评估，研究工作由康菲石油（Conoco Phillips）资助。
