Description
Raw data from the annual Israel National Monitoring Program survey conducted at the the Coral Beach Nature Reserve and off the IUI. more

To count the Reef motile invertebrates the survey is done annually in the summer and employs a random belt-transect array, with each transect being 50 meters long and 2 meters wide. Included are the larger nocturnal motile reef-dwelling invertebrates. The counts of common/easily identifiable fish taxa from the Coral Beach Nature Reserve are also conducted annually during the summer, and employs a raondomly-located systematic array of 7X2 meters survey plots. Fish are counted in the water column above each plot for 10 minutes, and within coral colonies in the plot. For more information please check the “Methods” section or the annual NMP reports (in Hebrew: for an abbreviated English summary of the Methodology for all the observations collected under this survey programme, see https://iui-eilat.huji.ac.il/Research/NMPMethodsEng.aspx).
