Field Activity B0611BI

Identifier B0611BI
Alternate names B-06-11-BI
Purpose Recover and redeploy instruments that are measuring water properties continuously at ~30 coral reef sites on the Big Island; Conduct synoptic sampling of water properties including submarine groundwater discharge plumes and nearshore currents; map coral community and colony size structure, bleaching occurrence and disease prevalence

Datasets

Datasets produced in this activity

Dataset name Equipment Description Dataset contact
Coral disease data by transect, West Hawaii, 2011 scuba Observations of coral disease and health indicators were documented by scuba divers along pre-determined transects and are presented here in comma-separated format. Included in the table are coral species observed, colony size, types and number of indicators observed, and a size range of indicators observed. Eric Grossman
Coral species and size data by transect, West Hawaii, 2011 scuba Observations of coral species and size were documented by scuba divers along pre-determined transects and are presented here in comma-separated format. Eric Grossman

Datasets compiled from multiple sources

Dataset name Equipment Description Dataset contact
Coral bleaching data by site, West Hawaii, 2010-2011 scuba Observations of bleached coral were documented by scuba divers along pre-determined transects and are presented here in comma-separated format. Included in the table are coral species observed, colony size, size of bleached area on colony, and seawater temperature. Eric Grossman
Coral Point Count (CPCe) summary data by transect, West Hawaii, 2010-2011 camera Coral Point Count with Excel extensions (CPCe, Kohler and Gill, 2006) was used to help calculate percent of coral cover or other benthic substrates from a randomly selected subset of seafloor photographs collected on the west Hawaii Island coast. Eric Grossman
Seafloor photographs and location data, West Hawaii, 2010-2011 camera Seafloor photographs were collected by SCUBA divers along pre-determined transects using an underwater digital camera following benthic survey protocols developed by the National Park Service (NPS) at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park (Marrack and others, 2014, Weijerman and others, 2014) and modeled after the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and NPS coral reef survey protocols (Rogers and others, 2001, Brown and others, 2011). This dataset includes seafloor photographs in jpg format, the locations of which are described in the accompanying comma-separated files. Eric Grossman
