Hawaii Institute for Marine Biology and NOAA National Ocean Service, Marine Sanctuary Program Partnership, in affiliation with the Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program, 2007 Survey of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve: Benthic Data from Digital Still Images (NOD

Rapid Assessment Transects were conducted in 2007 in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument of the Northwest Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. The surveys were led by Dr. Paul Jokiel and Mr. Erik Franklin along various depth contours at 7 unique atolls or islands. The data are quantitative estimates of substrate type and species provided in spreadsheet format (comma-separated version, CSV, text files). The types and coverages were derived objectively from photographic images using PhotoGrid, a software package which analyzes random points on images of coral reefs and substrate. This dataset does not include the images from the transects, which have been provided to NOAA separately. Images can be found in NODC Accession (0052882).2007年，研究团队于夏威夷西北群岛珊瑚礁生态保护区内的帕帕哈瑙莫夸基亚国家海洋保护区（Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument）开展了快速评估样带（Rapid Assessment Transects）调查。本次调查由保罗·约基尔博士与埃里克·富兰克林先生主导，在7处独特环礁或岛屿的不同深度等值线沿线实施。数据集以电子表格格式（逗号分隔值格式，即CSV，纯文本文件）提供了基底类型与物种的定量估算结果，各类别及其覆盖度通过摄影图像经PhotoGrid软件客观推导得出——该软件可对珊瑚礁与基底图像上的随机采样点进行分析。本数据集未包含本次样带对应的原始影像资料，相关影像已单独提交至美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA），影像资料可通过NODC存档号（0052882）获取。
