Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) benthic data and still images from 2019-06-06 to 2019-08-29 on Maui (NCEI Accession 0222157)

This data set consists of digitial still images along coral reef transect lines, from which quantitative benthic data are derived from select images via PhotoGrid, a software package that analyzes random points on digital still images of coral reefs and substrate. The benthic data include substrate type and species identification. A total of 20 transects of the Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) took place 2019-06-06 to 2019-08-29 at 10 sites on Maui. Most sites consist of two transects along different isobaths-- shallow (~2-4m) and deep (~7-13m) lines. CRAMP has surveyed state-wide coral reefs quasi-annually since 1999 with all historic sets archived at NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI.
