        abstract:  Guam community members gathered macroinvertebrate within a 25-meter x 2-meter belt transect. 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.

                description:  GCCRMP surveys provide a low degree of taxonomic resolution for macroinvertebrate communities. 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.
