This dataset consists of Coral Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (CRAMP) surveys taken in 1999 and include quantitative estimates of substrate type, rugosity, species type, and percent coverage. No fish data are included but will be included in later submissions. The types and overages were derived objectively from photographic images using PointCount99, a software package which analyzes random points on images of coral reefs and substrate. This dataset does not include the images from video transects however these will be provided to NOAA at a later date. Photoquadrats are included in this set. There are 19 survey sites, with 16 of these having both a shallow and deep transect. These sites are located on Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and Kahoolawe. One sampling date was taken for each site. Annual surveys are scheduled at these sites and additional sites through at least 2002.
