This dataset includes counts of coral colonies per species along monitoring transects from the Bocas del Toro Research Station at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama in 2021.
These data are counts of coral colonies along transects at monitoring sites from the Bocas del Toro Research Station at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama in 2021. Each transect was 2x50 meters in length. Two transects per depth x three depths (10, 20, and 40 feet). Counts were stopped at 10 colonies per transect such that the max number of colonies per transect was 10, even if there were more colonies present on the transect.
