68078 VogeTrader DataDict Entity Published / External 68077 Vogetrader Long-Term Monitoring 12 years After Impact: a collection of benthic data and imagery collected to evaluate reef recovery and the efficacy of restoration efforts at the M/V VogeTrader grounding site in O'ahu, Hawaii Data Set Completed 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. Data Table Yes This data dictionary describes columns across the five data files of this data package. 1 Vogetrader_images_2022.zip IMAGES No No Active 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. 2 DATE DATE No No Active Date of survey conducted in format YYYY-MMM-DD 2 REGION_NAME TEXT No No Active The name of the region surveyed in the Pacific Islands region. 2 ISLAND TEXT No No Active Name of island or atoll surveyed in the Pacific Islands region (REGION_NAME). 3 SITE_CODE TEXT No No Active 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 4 LATITUDE NUMERIC No No Active Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the given SITE_CODE only collected in 2022. 5 LONGITUDE NUMERIC No No Active Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84 for the given SITE_CODE only collected in 2022. 6 ZONE TEXT No No Active Describes the zone that replicates were collected from. Zones include Main Scar, Inner Channel, and Southern Scar Fragments. Each zone consists of an impact and reference site. Character Inner channel, Main scar, Southern scar fragments 7 HABITAT TEXT No No Active Describes the habitat type that data was collected from. For the Inner Channel zone, habitat types include Lower Slope (LS) and Upper Slope (US). For the Main Scar, habitat types include LS, US, and Reef Flat (RF). The Southern Scar Fragments consists only of RF habitat type. LS, US, RF, 8 TYPE TEXT No No Active Indicates whether data was collected from a reference or impact site. Reference, Impact 9 TIME TEXT No No Active Indicates the time that data was collected in reference to restoration efforts. Times include Before, from the 2010 surveys during the initial damage assessment, and After, from the 2022 surveys. Before, After 10 SURVEY_YEAR NUMBER No No Active Describes the survey year. Survey years include 2010 (initial damage assessment) and 2022 (monitoring surveys). 11 REPLICATE NUMBER No No Active Defines the replicate within each zone, habitat, type, and time that data was collected for each survey. Ten quadrat replicates were performed at each site for coral demographic surveys; replicate numbers range from 1 to 10. They are unique to each quadrat e.g. all replicate 1 were in the same square meter quadrat. There are no replicates for coral outplant data as the the whole survey area was assessed. 11 TAXON TEXT No No Active Taxon identifier as a short code for the scientific name. For coral outplants, there are four taxa: PLOB (Porites lobata), PMEA (Pocillopora meandrina), PGRA (Pocillopora grandis) and MONT (Montipora spp.). For juvenile and adult coral surveys, a list of coral species is provided to define all taxon codes. 12 TOTAL NUMBER No No Active Total abundance of all coral species measured within each replicate plot during demographic surveys. 13 PERCENT_MORTALITY NUMBER No No Active Extent of partial mortality (0 to 100%) for coral outplants. Partial mortality was used to adjust SIZE_CM to maximum diameter of live coral tissue for each outplant. 13 SIZE_CM NUMBER No No Active Maximum diameter of the coral outplants. 14 SIZE NUMBER No No Active Describes the size class of each coral measured in the demographic surveys (non-outplant). Size classes include 1 (0.5 to <2cm), 2 (2cm to <5cm), 5 (5cm to <10cm), 10 (10cm to <20cm), 20 (20cm to <40cm), 40 (40cm to <80cm), 80 (80cm or greater). 14 JUVENILES_SOLID NUMBER No No Active Number of juvenile corals measured on stable reef framework within each replicate plot. 15 JUVENILES_RUBBLE NUMBER No No Active Number of juvenile corals measured on rubble reef framework within each replicate plot. 16 JUVENILES_TOTAL NUMBER No No Active Total number of juvenile corals measured within each replicate plot (calculated as the sum of juvenilesSolid and juvenilesRubble). 30 ANALYST TEXT No No Active Username of the person that annotated the images; for this project 'JTM' = John Morris 31 IMAGE_NAME TEXT No No Active Image name (REGION_PROGRAM_ISLAND_SITE) e.g. MHI_VT_Oahu_ICUS_R_10.JPG 32 X_POS NUMERIC No No Active X position of the analyzed point on the image. 33 Y_POS NUMERIC No No Active Y position of the analyzed point on the image. 34 LABEL TEXT No No Active Identification of taxa underlying points displayed by CoralNet during photoquadrat annotation for benthic cover data. Refer to coralnet_labelset_definitions for 35 LABEL_DESC TEXT No No Active Description of CoralNet LABEL as defined by CRED/ESD 36 LABEL_GROUP TEXT No No Active Functional group of LABEL as defined in CoralNet labelset by CRED/ESD gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:68078 Lori Luers 2022-10-25T00:07:58 Lori Luers 2023-09-12T22:57:53 2023-09-12 Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center PIFSC 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA 808-725-5300 https://www.pifsc.noaa.gov 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. 1001 Public No 1 Year
