Raw survey data included species presence and relative abundance, colony counts and size classes, and determination of benthic cover using the line-intercept method. One meter on each side of the transect lines was included in the belt (for a total of 50m2 or 100m2 per site), depending on the number of transects surveyed.

The same methods of data collection were used at each of the sites surveyed at this location, and were conducted by the same scientists. At 0.5m-intervals along each of 2, consecutively-placed 25m transect lines, the benthic component beneath the line was recorded in order to determine benthic composition. Then, as divers swam in the reverse direction along the transect lines, they inspected the corals whose center fell within a 2m-wide belt (i.e., 1m on each side of the transect line). Each such coral was tallied by genus and classified by its maximum diameter in one of 6 size classes: 0-5cm, 5-10cm, 10-20cm, 20-40cm, 40-80cm, or 80-160cm. Lastly, a larger area around the transect belt was inspected for additional coral taxa that did not occur within the belt; the relative abundance of all corals was qualitatively assessed using the DACOR system (D = Dominant, A = Abundant, C = Common, O = Occasional, R = Rare. 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.
