MBRS fish and coral monitoring of last quarter
We finished 6 sites for fish and Coral (PL05, PX05, PX10, PX20, LC10 LC20)!
For fish the data that we gathered doing this transects was the abundance and the sizeThis data help us calculate the biomass that will help us understand the changes in the community dynamics and will lead us to identify the human impacts in the area.
The coral and sessile (anemones, algae etc) data can be used to understand the growth/recovery rates as well as giving us an ongoing view on the overall health with the reef.
