Status of reef resources of Navassa Island : cruise report Nov 2002

This report provides a descriptive summary of activities and results for the NOAA-Fisheries sponsored expedition to Navassa Island conducted 28 October - 12 November 2002. This expedition was intended to provide an intensive baseline assessment of the composition and condition of local benthic and fish assemblages. This study distinguishes itself from previous expeditions that mainly focused on quantifying taxonomic diversity. To reveal the temporal dynamics of Navassa's bottom communities, permanent monitoring stations (3 sites) and settlement tiles were installed (2 sites). It is intended to re-visit and re-survey these during future expeditions to Navassa.
