Reef composition was surveyed on all 192 reefs between years 2003-2005. The Focal Point Contact (Point Contact) method was used to determine the major substrate types that occupy each reef. Beginning in 2012, reefs 129-144 were used for a manipulative experiment; data beginning in 2012 for these reefs can be found in the project “Spatial patterns of coral-vermetid interactions: short-term effects and long-term consequences.” These data are meant to verify visual cover estimates at each reef (found in the dataset “Percent Visual Cover”).
