Coral Reef Monitoring Manual for the Caribbean and Western Atlantic.

Abstract

This manual was developed as a practical guide for scientists, students, and park managers who need to describe coral reefs or document changes in them over time. Although no book can substitute for a hands-on training program or on-site assistance from someone experienced in the technique you want to learn, the need for coral reef monitoring is urgent and the number of “experts” is still small. Many of those who need to begin a coral reef monitoring program have little choice but to get started on their own.
