Description

This dataset contains site information for reefs located in Moorea, French Polynesia.

Beginning in 2003, 192 Long Term Reefs (LTR) were chosen for long-term monitoring as part of the "Cryptic density dependence: the effects of spatial, ontogenetic, and individual variation in reef fish" project.  Data from this project can be found on the project page:  http://www.bco-dmo.org/project/540423 

Beginning in 2012, Long Term Vermetid Removal (LTVR) sites 193-198 were established for a vermetid removal manipulation as part of the "Spatial patterns of coral-vermetid interactions: short-term effects and long-term consequences" project.  Data from the LTVR sites can be found on the project page: https://www.bco-dmo.org/project/540411

Location: Moorea, French Polynesia (17.48 degrees S, 149.82 degrees W)
