Abstract

Sponge density and morphology and percent cover of sponges and associated benthic community determined from videos of three transects at Virgin Islands Territorial Coral Reef Monitoring Program site, pre- and post-hurricane, 2015-2017.

Cite Dataset

This dataset includes sponge density and morphology and percent cover of sponges and associated benthic community determined from videos along transects at six sites at the Virgin Islands Territorial Coral Reef Monitoring Program site, pre- and post-hurricane, 2015-2017.

These data were published in Gochfeld et al (2020).
