Abstract

As part of reef-composition surveys of Palau, Yap, and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the extension rates and density of coral species were collected from Prachett et al. (2015), meta-analysis of scientific literature, and personal observations to assist with quantifying the production of reef carbonate.
