Identifying coral reef resilience potential in Tutuila, American Samoa based on NOAA coral reef monitoring data from 2010 to 2016
Data Set
Completed
Composite 11 Resilience Scores:
File provide scores for individual resilience metrics for the primary analysis with all 11 metrics. Raw scores from each of the individual metrics were scaled from 0.0 to 1.0, where 1 represents the healthiest condition in the study. Although it is not a metric used to analyze resilience, percent coral cover is provided as it is frequently used to evaluate reef status and prioritize management.
Composite 8 Resilience scores:
File provide scores for the secondary analysis with the eight metrics available for Taema Bank. Raw scores from each of the individual metrics were scaled from 0.0 to 1.0, where 1 represents the healthiest condition in the study. Although it is not a metric used to analyze resilience, percent coral cover is provided as it is frequently used to evaluate reef status and prioritize management.
