Description: 

Sampling strategy. Either "Spatial survey" and "Lagrangian survey".

Spatial Survey = Samples were collected closely in time on Mo'orea's North Shore (French Polynesia) to provide a synoptic snapshot of the reef environment.
Lagrangian Survey = Samples were collected during Lagrangian transect deployments. These followed the linear water flow from ocean-facing forereefs over a reef crest to the backreef lagoons.
