".....Think of this as looking at your aquarium at home. By looking head on at a reef, approximately 3 feet away, here is what was seen…
Percentage of substrate cover are: Rock (48%), Hard Coral (30%), Soft Coral (6%), Cryptic Dark Zones (6%), Sand (2%), Open Water (4%), Mobile Invertebrates (3%), Fleshy Algae (1%).
A breakdown of the reef analyzed in this project: Acropora (3%), Algae (1%), Base of Corals (1%), Non Acropora Branching Stony Coral (2%), Cryptic Zones (6%), Encrusting Montipora (4%), Gorgonia (4%), Mustard Coral (2%), Pocillopora (5%), Porites (3%), Rock Area (48%), Loose Sand (2%), Seafans (2%), Staghorn Coral (2%), Table Acropora (8%), Open Water (4%), Worm Casings (3%).
100 points of analysis...utilizes video transects to paint a picture of coral reef coverage. Aspiring hobbyists can use this information as a platform for recreating reef systems."
Interesting stuff.
