Description:

"Coral reef fish and benthos were surveyed at 133 coral reef sites around Guam in May and June 2011 during a Mariana Archipelago Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program Cruise (MARAMP 2011) and a supplemental survey mission accomplished using a chartered vessel. Both projects were conducted by the NOAA Fisheries, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center's Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) using consistent methods, survey design, and personnel. The goals of the supplementary survey work were to (1) generate a more spatially comprehensive data set on the coral reefs around Guam than is possible based on a 4-5 survey day restriction, which has been the standard for biennial MARAMP cruises since 2003, around Guam, and (2) generate sufficient data to assess the status of reef fish assemblages in Guam's Marine Preserves (MPs) and to compare those reef fishes with assemblages in areas around Guam that are open to fishing ('open' sites). Recognizing differences in accessibility and ocean conditions on different sides of the island, Guam sites outside of the marine preserves are pooled at different times into 'all open' and separately for 'open-east' and 'open-west'"--Summary.
