Description:This document is intended as a reference and provides guidelines for training, sampling, and data entry for the monitoring of coral populations and benthic communities as part of the Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (Pacific RAMP) led by the Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) of the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC). The standard operating procedures (SOP) outlined in this report apply to the Pacific RAMP surveys that ESD and its partners conduct in the coral reef ecosystems of ~ 40 primary islands, atolls, and shallow banks in the Hawaiian Archipelago (including Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument), the Mariana Archipelago (Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, including the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument), American Samoa, and the Pacific Remote Island Areas Marine National Monument (Wake, Johnston, Palmyra, and Kingman Atolls and Howland, Baker, and Jarvis Islands).
