Full description
Coral reef survey of benthic cover, between northern Ningaloo and the Dampier Archipelago. The data include Benthic Cover (%) of benthic life forms on 25m transects, derived from point intercept data taken from transect images.Attributes:
COLUMN_NAME COMMENTS
YEAR_SAMPLED — Year that site was analysed for habitat cover
SITE_ID — Site identifier (Site was photographed and analysed for habitat percent cover)
REEF_NAME — Name of reef site is associated with
FACIES — Used to describe the part of the reef that the site represents e.g. reef slope, reef flat
NO_TAKE — Is the site in a non-fishing zone (based on Marine Park Zoning) or not (Y/N: Y => Non-Fishing Zone, N=>Site is fished)
LAT — Site Latitude
LON — Site Longitude
BROADGROUP — Broadgroup classification of benthic cover
SUBGROUP — Subgroup classification of benthic cover
PERCENT_COVER — Percent cover of subgroup habitat for the site in the year sampled
