Description:"Coral reef fish and benthos were surveyed at 150 shallow-water coral reef sites across the north coast of Timor-Leste in June 2013 during a 21-day survey mission. This project was conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center's Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) using consistent methods, survey design, and personnel. The goal of the survey work was to generate baseline data on the nearshore coral reef fish assemblages and associated benthic communities around Timor-Leste's north coast. Surveys were concentrated around the north coast due to (1) limited time and resources, but also (2) low water visibility and safety concerns for potential dive survey operations along the south shore. Fish biomass and benthic cover were estimated at all survey sites. All site-level data are shown in Appendix A"--Summary. [doi:10.7289/V5K0728F (https://doi.org/10.7289/V5K0728F)]
