Purpose: As part of an integrated study to assess projected impacts of land-use and climate change on nearshore habitat conditions and coral health, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) initiated an investigation of nearshore water properties and coral health indicators along the west Hawaii Island coast. The project and data generated provide fundamental baseline data to track change and important boundary condition data to interpret characteristics of coral health related to water quality along a gradient in exposure to urban impacts and submarine groundwater discharge.

Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Data were collected by divers on scuba along three randomly selected swath transects at each site location. The location where divers descended at the beginning of each transect was noted using a portable GPS unit in a waterproof housing. Once at the seafloor, a bearing was noted for the direction the divers swam and distance from start to each station noted along a 10-m measuring tape. Data observed along the transects were noted on divers’ slates using underwater paper.
