Title: Vogetrader_Restoration_DataDictionary_2022
Short Name: VogeTrader DataDict
Status: Completed
Abstract:

On February 5, 2010, the cargo vessel M/V Vogetrader ran aground a shallow forereef in Oahu, Hawaii. In 2013, restoration efforts were implemented at the impact area, which included three types of restoration techniques: coral outplanting, rubble removal, passive restoration. In 2022, monitoring surveys were conducted at vessel grounding site to assess coral reef recovery trajectories and to compare the efficacy of the three restoration techniques. This resource includes the datasets and documentation of the 2022 monitoring surveys.

Attribute Summary

Rubric Score Primary Key? Name Type Description
100
Vogetrader_images_2022.zip IMAGES Photoquadrat imagery of the survey area; ten images per ten sites across various zones, habitats, and impact or reference sites. This source imagery was used for rubble cover analysis using the web tool CoralNet.

DATE DATE Date of survey conducted in format YYYY-MMM-DD
100
SITE_CODE TEXT Unique identifier for each site. Identifier is defined as Zone_Habitat_Type e.g. IC_LS_I would be inner channel, lower scar, impact site. Zones include: IC = inner channel, MS = main scar, or SSF = southern scar fragment; Habitat includes: LS = lower scar, US = upper scar, or RF = reef flat; Type includes I = impact or R = reference
