National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Assessment of fish communities in the Florida Keys during 2014

This dataset includes observations of reef fish near the Florida Keys in 2014. Data were sourced from the SEFSC Data Portal and aligned to Darwin Core. This data is a subset of data from an ongoing project that includes data from other regions and years and is dependent on the sampling design. The stationary point count method (7.5m radius cylinder) is used to conduct fish surveys in Florida as part of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). This method collects and reports information on species composition, density, size structure, abundance and derived metrics (e.g., species richness, diversity). Data provided in this data set are from the Florida Keys. Data are collected using a 2-stage, stratified random survey design. Lead agencies involved include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Southeast Fisheries Science Center (NOAA Fisheries) and National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS).

本数据集涵盖了2014年佛罗里达群岛附近珊瑚礁鱼类的观测数据。数据来源于SEFSC数据门户，并已与达尔文核心标准对齐。该数据集为持续进行的项目数据的一部分，该项目涵盖了其他地区和年份的数据，并依赖于采样设计。在佛罗里达州，作为国家珊瑚礁监测计划（NCRMP）的一部分，采用固定点计数法（半径7.5米的圆柱体）进行鱼类调查。该方法收集并报告物种组成、密度、体型结构、丰度和衍生指标（例如物种丰富度和多样性）等信息。本数据集中的数据来自佛罗里达群岛。数据采集采用两阶段分层随机调查设计。参与的主要机构包括国家海洋和大气管理局的东南渔业科学中心（NOAA渔业）以及国家海岸海洋科学中心（NCCOS）。
