Reef Plan monitoring of inshore coral reef communities, Great Barrier Reef (RRMMP)

Monitoring has been carried out on inshore reefs since 2005.\n\nBenthic community monitoring program variables: percent cover of benthic organisms (hard corals, soft corals and macroalgae); settlement of coral larvae (numbers of spat settling to tiles) and densities of juvenile corals; numbers of ge...

Description
Summary:Monitoring has been carried out on inshore reefs since 2005.\n\nBenthic community monitoring program variables: percent cover of benthic organisms (hard corals, soft corals and macroalgae); settlement of coral larvae (numbers of spat settling to tiles) and densities of juvenile corals; numbers of genera; size distributions of coral colonies; prevalence of coral diseases; composition of benthic Foraminifera communities. Sediment sample variables: grain size fractions; nitrogen; organic, inorganic and total carbon.\n\nGeographic areas (note not all locations have all data in all years) relate to Natural Resource Management (NRM): Wet Tropics NRM, Burdekin NRM, Mackay Whitsunday NRM, Fitzroy NRM.\n\nReef locations: Barren Island, Daydream Island, Dent Island, Double Cone Island, Dunk Island, Fitzroy Island, Frankland Group, Geoffrey Bay, Havannah Island, High Island, Hook Island, Humpy & Halfway Island, King Reef, Lady Elliot Reef, Middle Island, Middle Reef, North Barnard Group, North Keppel Island, Orpheus Island, Pandora Reef, Peak Island, Pelican Island, Pelorus Island, Pine Island, Seaforth Island, Shute & Tancred Island, Snapper Island, Cape Tribulation fringing reefs.
