CRAMP is a
state-wide monitoring program that uses a standardized protocol to
document spatial
variability and temporal change in coral cover at
selected sites. Additional components such as algal cover,
patterns in fish density and biomass will be sampled to
elucidate relationships between these various factors over
space and time. These results will be integrated with past and
future projects to provide a clearer consensus on historical
trends for management.
Sites surveyed: Hanalei
Bay, Ha'ena, Po'ipu,
