Raw survey data included species level abundance estimates. Part of a long-term monitoring program at biennial intervals in which corals, algae, fish, and other macro invertebrates are co-sampled along the same set of transect lines. underDevelopment Ivor Williams Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 808 725-5360 808 725-5429 NOAA IRC NMFS/PIFSC/CRED 1845 WASP Blvd., Building 176 Honolulu HI 96818 USA nmfs.pic.credinfo@noaa.gov e-mail preferred pointOfContact ASNEEDED CoRIS_Metadata theme NCEI Geoportal Filter Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (Pacific RAMP): Biennial monitoring for the U.S. Pacific Islands and Atolls 1221 project CRCP Project EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Reef Fish Census > Belt Transect EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Rapid Assessment Studies EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Marine Biology > Fish theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Marine Ecosystem Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) Rapid Ecological Assessments (REA) Reef Fishes Belt Transect (BLT) Survey OES0511 theme None Numeric Data Sets > Biology theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Pagan Island > Pagan Island (18N145E0001) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > Northern Mariana Islands > Pagan > Pagan Island (18N145E0001) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus CNMI place CoRIS Region While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system.

Efforts were made to include broad spatial coverage of the reef area, but weather conditions or other environmental constraints may have precluded the team from surveying windward or exposed sites. The same methods of data collection were used at each of the sites surveyed at this location, and were conducted by the same scientists. Periodic examination of the data through the duration of the trip showed no signs of diver bias or other discrepancies. Data were collected by two divers swimming in tandem along the length of three 25m transect lines. The team swam each transect two times. During the initial swim-out, each diver recorded the abundance and size of all fish observed over 20cm TL within 4m of their side of the transect line. On the return swim, each diver recorded the abundance and size of all fish less than 20cm TL within 2m of their side of the transect line. Fish were identified to the lowest possible taxon which in most cases was the species level. This data is recorded in the spreadsheet as DataTyp equals QUAN. Following the completion of three transect replicates at each site, the divers spent their remaining bottom time roving the general area near the site recording the presence of all fish species observed at the site. This data is recorded in the spreadsheet as DataTyp equals PRES. Upon returning to the ship and Honolulu offices, data were error checked, and data from the three fish surveyors were consolidated into one spreadsheet. Data have not been modified, and this data set includes raw data. 2008-03-07T00:00:00 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.
