Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

The study was conducted in the northern lagoon of Moorea, French Polynesia (17 30’S, 149 50’W), at the Gump Research Station between February and August 2007, using a grid of 28 live-coral patch reefs in water 2 to 4 meters deep.

Experimental Design and Execution
This dataset is descriptive, listing all species within the community found on each of the 28 reefs used in the study.
