An OCC_SITEID is a 3-dimensional identifier that describes a location (LATITUDE and LONGITUDE) and depth of a fixed climate site and includes "OCC" prefix, a 3-letter location code (derived from LOCATIONCODE), and a 3-digit site number. 8 OCC_SITENAME VARCHAR2 No No Active Descriptive name for the fixed NCRMP climate site (OCC_SITEID) surveyed. 9 LATITUDE NUMERIC No No Active Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the given OCC_SITEID. 10 LONGITUDE NUMERIC No No Active Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the given OCC_SITEID. 11 DEPTH_M NUMERIC No No Active Depth of survey site, in meters. 12 LOCALDATE DATE No No Active Local date the survey was conducted in YYYY-MM-DD 13 CB_METHOD VARCHAR2 No No Active Methodology used for collection of urchin data. Indo-Pacific Reef Budget (IPRB): in-water data collected along 6 x 1m x 10m belt transects following the Indo-Pacific ReefBudget approach (Perry et al. 2018). Chords: In-water data collected along 6 x 1m x 8-10m transects located within the 12m diameter circular footprint covered by Structure-from-Motion imagery. Structure-from-Motion (SFM): data extracted from fixed site Structure-from-Motion models along 6 x 1m x 8-10m virtual transects. 14 CB_TRANSECTID VARCHAR2 No No Active An identifier for the transect surveyed, differentiated by methodology (CB_METHOD). IPRB: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3; Chords: A, B, C, D, E, F; SfM: A, B, C, D, E, F. 15 TRANSECT_LENGTH_M NUMERIC No No Active Total planar length of transect surveyed (CB_TRANSECTID), in meters. 16 URCH_OBS_TF VARCHAR2 No No Active Urchins were (TRUE) or were not (FALSE) observed on the transect. 17 TAXON_NAME VARCHAR2 No No Active Genus or species of urchins observed on the transect (CB_TRANSECTID). Left blank if no urchins were observed. 18 TAXON_CODE VARCHAR2 No No Active Unique code for TAXON_NAME. 19 TEST_SIZE_BIN_0_20_MM NUMERIC No No Active Number of urchins of the specified taxa (TAXON_NAME) observed on the transect (CB_TRANSECTID) with a test size between 0 and 20 millimeters. 20 TEST_SIZE_BIN_21_40_MM NUMERIC No No Active Number of urchins of the specified taxa (TAXON_NAME) observed on the transect (CB_TRANSECTID) with a test size between 21 and 40 millimeters. 21 TEST_SIZE_BIN_41_60_MM NUMERIC No No Active Number of urchins of the specified taxa (TAXON_NAME) observed on the transect (CB_TRANSECTID) with a test size between 41 and 60 millimeters. 22 TEST_SIZE_BIN_61_80_MM NUMERIC No No Active Number of urchins of the specified taxa (TAXON_NAME) observed on the transect (CB_TRANSECTID) with a test size between 61 and 80 millimeters. 23 TEST_SIZE_BIN_81_100_MM NUMERIC No No Active Number of urchins of the specified taxa (TAXON_NAME) observed on the transect (CB_TRANSECTID) with a test size between 81 and 100 millimeters. 24 TEST_SIZE_BIN_101_120_MM NUMERIC No No Active Number of urchins of the specified taxa (TAXON_NAME) observed on the transect (CB_TRANSECTID) with a test size between 101 and 120 millimeters. 25 TEST_SIZE_BIN_121_140_MM NUMERIC No No Active Number of urchins of the specified taxa (TAXON_NAME) observed on the transect (CB_TRANSECTID) with a test size between 121 and 140 millimeters. 26 TEST_SIZE_BIN_141_160_MM NUMERIC No No Active Number of urchins of the specified taxa (TAXON_NAME) observed on the transect (CB_TRANSECTID) with a test size between 141 and 160 millimeters. gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:68417 Lori Luers 2022-11-15T02:56:21 Lori Luers 2025-03-24T22:37:45 2025-03-24 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
