Raw survey data included colony counts and size classes by genus, and visual estimation of percent cover. Half a meter( 0.5m) on each side of the transect lines were included in the belt (for a total of 25m2 or 50m2 per site), depending on colony density.

The same methods of data collection were used at each of the sites surveyed at this location, and were conducted by the same scientist. As the diver swam along the transect lines, she inspected the corals whose center fell within a 1m-wide belt (i.e., 0.5 on each side of the transect line). Each such coral was tallied by genus and classified by its maximum diameter in one of 7 size classes: 0-5cm, 5-10cm, 10-20cm, 20-40cm, 40-80cm, 80-160cm, or >160cm. At the end of this survey, a visual estimation of coral percent cover was made and recorded. annually This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2016-01-11 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform.
