Reef photo quadrants of Bonaire. Raw photo material of the 2019 survey
Submitted by Peter Verweij on Wed, 04/15/2020 - 15:27Raw photo material of the 2019 reef survey using the GCRMN method.
The 12 survey sites lie within the Bonaire National Marine Park, which surrounds the island from the high water mark to a depth of 30 meters. To maximize comparability across the region, GCRMN data was collected solely from forereef habitats at depths ranging from 8 – 15 meters. Sites included the industrialized harbor area along with sites with perceived lower anthropogenic influence on the north and south ends of the island. For each site 5 transects were surveyed. Photographs were taken along the 5 transect lines set for counting fish, capturing 15 images per transect line.
