Description:This report documents methods, analyses, and results from annual long-term monitoring of fish and benthic communities at Stetson Bank over a period of four years, 2015–2018. Stetson Bank is an uplifted claystone/siltstone feature, located within Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, that supports a well-developed coral community of tropical marine sponges and coral. Due to a wide range of temperatures and variable light availability, Stetson Bank has marginal environmental conditions for coral reef development and growth. The fish community is similar to other Caribbean reefs, but has comparatively reduced diversity.
