Members identified macroinvertebrates to species (when possible), including echinoderms, mollusks, and crustaceans. Data is supported by photos from the sites. Surveys record total number of macroinvertebrates per 50 square meters for each transect. purpose: Part of a long-term community monitoring program at irregular intervals which documents the state of the reefs. credit: Valerie Brown, Habitat Conservation Division, Pacific Islands Regional Office, NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service status: (MD_ProgressCode) completed pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Guam Field Office, Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 671 646-1904 facsimile: 671 646-1906 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: NOAA Fisheries deliveryPoint: Guam Field Office deliveryPoint: 770 East Sunset Blvd. Suite 170 city: Tiyan administrativeArea: GU postalCode: 96913 country: USA electronicMailAddress: valerie.brown@noaa.gov contactInstructions: e-mail preferred role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) ASNEEDED descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: CoRIS_Metadata type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: NCEI Geoportal Filter date: (unknown) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Community Monitoring Program Coordination for Guam keyword: 556 type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) project thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: CRCP Project date: (unknown) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Marine Ecosystem keyword: Macroinvertebrate keyword: Echinoderms keyword: Coral Reef Ecosystem keyword: Mollusks keyword: Crustaceans keyword: Guam type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: None date: (unknown) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Numeric Data Sets > Biology type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus date: (unknown) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Coral reef ecology keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment > Rapid assessment studies keyword: EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Marine Biology > Macroinvertebrates type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: CoRIS Theme Thesaurus date: (unknown) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Marianas keyword: Guam type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) place thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: None date: (unknown) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Guam > Guam (13N144E0000) keyword: COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Guam > Guam (13N144E0000) type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) place thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: CoRIS Place Thesaurus date: (unknown) descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Guam type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) place thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: CoRIS Region date: (unknown) resourceConstraints: (MD_Constraints) useLimitation: While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system.

The surveys were conducted along reef flats around Guam at depths between 0.5 and 2 m. biological assessment teams follow standard protocols that are repeated at each site. Once GCCRMP leaders navigate to the site using a GPS, members deploy a 25 m transect line which are also used for benthic cover surveys. The sampling effort takes between 20 and 60 min to complete. The selection of sites was made by the GCCRMP Science Coordinator. Factors considered during site selection included: (1) ensuring a range of sample sites representative of the benthic habitats in the selected area; (2) sites are accessbile to members; (3) selection to facilitate simple hypothesis testing by local school and community groups; and (5) selecting a number of sites that could be compared to and complement previous assessment and monitoring work as well as future coral reef monitoring proposed by local agencies. It is important to note that access to sites can be limited by wave exposure, weather conditions, and other environmental factors such as currents. Transect placement was guided by: (1) a focus on representative reef flat communities; (2) deploying lines along an isobath parallel to shore to the extent possible at each site. dateTime: (unknown) return to top metadataMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) annually maintenanceNote: This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2016-01-11 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform. maintenanceNote: Translated from FGDC 2025-03-14T14:56:20.591Z contact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Habitat Conservation Division, Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 671 646-1904 facsimile: 671 646-1906 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: NOAA Fisheries deliveryPoint: Guam Field Office deliveryPoint: 770 East Sunset Blvd, Suite 170 city: Tiyan administrativeArea: GU postalCode: 96913 country: USA electronicMailAddress: valerie.brown@noaa.gov contactInstructions: e-mail preferred role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact | |
