MD5:c5546f7c019a61cdc76b2223696746a5
Fish and invertebrate codes. This table contains the following parameters (columns):
Code_type = Code type (AnemCode,FishCode,InvCode)
Code = Code for the family, species, or identification as used in related data tables.
Taxon_or_identification= Either a species, family, or description of an organism. e.g. Family (Apogonidae) or identification (e.g. Sea anemone)
AphiaID = World Register of Marine Species identifier for the taxonomic name

MD5:668c935737d5d7021dda620c2f7dea32
Transect and quadrat information. Lat/lon points are usually the southern edge of the transect.

Parameters (column name, description, and units):
survey_season = year of survey season
site = site name
Type = type (Fixed or Random)
direction= Direction (e.g. NE for North East)
Waypoint Name =Waypoint name (e.g. Cabatoan F1 real)
lat = latitude in decimal degrees
lon = longitude in decimal degrees
Quadrat_Number = Quadrat number
Quadrat_Depth = Quadrat depth
Note = Note

This table was imported from multiple Excel files and concatenated into one table. Table was transformed from multiple quadrant depth columns to Quadrat_Number and Quadrat_Depth columns. One of the original excel files (Transect_locations2016_05.xlsx) had a note "Moved Fixed 2 because it was too shallow - 10.76399, 124.78524." Since the strikethrough formatting isn't preserved in the data tables BCODMO imports, the values in the lat/lon columns were updated to use the new values provided in the comment.
