Description:

This entity describes the columns in the dataset for coral belt observations (juvenile)
Change Summary:

Note a repeat segment flag was included to mark those repeated for internal review. If using data without repeats, filter for transectnum = 1 (transectnum 1 with repeat segment flag -1 means it was the original segment, transectnum 2 with repeat segment flag -1 means it was a repeated segment).
