Unique Identifier for MISSIONID.

Mission identifier.

The name of the region surveyed in the Pacific Islands region: American Samoa, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Mariana Archipelago, main Hawaiian Islands, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

Name of island or atoll surveyed in the Pacific Islands region (REGION_NAME).

The code for the site surveyed at the island or atoll (ISLAND). Combines a 3-letter island code with a 2-5 digit site number.

Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the given SITE.

Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84 for the given SITE.

The reef zone for the given SITE (Forereef, Backreef, Lagoon, Protected Slope).

They type of survey conducted. Random sites selected using a stratified random sampling design surveyed for reef fish and coral demographics are type FISH or BENTHIC, respectively. Permanent sites surveyed for climate monitoring are type OCEANOGRAPHY. OCEANOGRAPHY sites are usually flagged as PERM_SITE or CLIMATE_STATION, and may be flagged as both.

Classification of depth (shallow, mid, deep) based on midpoint between minimum and maximum depths of transect(s) of a given SITE. Shallow: >0-6 m, Mid: >6-18 m, Deep: >18-30 m.

Flag for permanent site (-1), many of which were established in the early years of the Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program. Applicable only to 'oceanography' SURVEY_TYPE. Only a subset of activities conducted at CLIMATE STATIONS are conducted at permanent sites. OCEANOGRAPHY sites are usually flagged as PERM_SITE or CLIMATE_STATION, and in some cases may be flagged as both.

Flag for NCRMP climate station (-1). Applicable only to 'oceanography' SURVEY_TYPE. Climate stations are permanent sites (regardless of PERM_SITE flag). OCEANOGRAPHY sites are usually flagged as PERM_SITE or CLIMATE_STATION, and may be flagged as both.

Typically, 3-4 climate stations were selected to be roughly equally spaced around the island/atoll, along the 15-m contour, on hard bottom, and at least 1-km away from a river mouth or embayment (if relevant to the island/atoll). Multiple features of the coral reef environment are assessed at climate stations, including in-situ water temperature using subsurface temperature recorders (STRs), seawater carbonate chemistry from water samples, net carbonate accretion using calcification accretion units (CAUs), bioerosion using bioerosion monitoring units (BMUs), and cryptobiota diversity using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS).

Minimum depth (measured in feet). Only recorded for coral demographic surveys ('benthic' SURVEY_TYPE).

Maximum depth (measured in feet). Only recorded for coral demographic surveys ('benthic' SURVEY_TYPE).

Date the survey was conducted (DD-MMM-YY).

Image name (SITE_YEAR_REP_PHOTOID).

4-digit year the survey was conducted (DATE_).

Letter associated to replicate for the survey. For 'benthic' and 'fish' SURVEY_TYPE, Rep is A for reef fish surveys, and A or B for benthic coral demographic surveys. For 'oceanography' SURVEY_TYPE, Rep is A.

Sequential image number along transect, usually 1-30, though some sites may exceed 30.

Initials of the person that annotated the images. The analyst for automated annotations (as opposed to annotations generated by humans) is ROBOT.

Code for CATEGORY NAME.

Category classification for the point on the analyzed image. Taxa/functional group includes: coral, coralline alga, macroalga, mobile fauna, sediment, sessile invertebrate, soft coral, tape and wand, turf alga, and unclassified.

X position of the analyzed point on the image.

Y position of the analyzed point on the image.
