Description:"This report summarizes the reef fish survey data and a subset of the benthic data collected by the Coral Reef Ecosystem Program for Pacific RAMP and for compatible PMNM, NMFS and CRCP survey missions in 2016. During 2016, surveys were conducted in the following regions: main Hawaiian Islands, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Remote Island Areas, and American Samoa. The status of reef fish assemblages in each region is first described in the wider Pacific context (Section: U.S. Pacific reefs: the status of reef fish). Given the substantial changes in methods and design used for the reef fish assemblage surveys, this section shows observations collected since 2009, after which point, the reef fish assemblage surveys for Pacific RAMP were consistently conducted using the SPC method under a depthstratified random sampling design. Towed-diver surveys of large fishes (greater than or equal to 50 cm) were designed to generate data at regional or sub-regional scale, and thus we do not generally present island-level summaries of this information. Instead, the towed-diver surveyed data are shown at the regional scale following the SPC reef fish assemblage section. In the final section, the publications that were produced in 2016 as a result of those surveys are listed; these publications either use the Pacific RAMP fish data or were co-authored by members of the CREP fish team and relevant to Pacific RAMP fish ecological monitoring work"--Page 9. doi:10.7289/V5/DR-PIFSC-17-001 (http://dx.doi.org/10.7289/V5/DR-PIFSC-17-001)
