Abstract:
These line segments were digitized on-screen in ArcView and
represent VERY rough estimates of the coral reef transects
depicted in Figure 1 of the paper
Green, A.L., Birkeland, C.E., and Randall, R.H., 1999.
Twenty years of disturbance and change in Fagatele Bay
National Marine Sanctuary, American Samoa, Pacific Science,
53(4): 376-400. The
aims of the study were to:
(1) describe the coral reef communities within the
sanctuary, and
(2) to examine the changes that have occurred in those
communities over the last 20 years, as a result of several
major
disturbances (crown-of-thorns starfish in 1979, major
hurricanes
in 1990 and 1991, unusually high water temps in 1994,
illegal
dynamite fishing).
Attributes were taken from existing digital data provided
by
Charles Birkeland.
Purpose:
This coverage is for very rough comparison with future
diving
transects to be conducted in the bay, starting with the
rebreather mission in May, 2001
