Description

15 years of photoquadrats from St. John, USVI, were used to assess the abundance of benthic invertebrates on shallow reefs of St. John, USVI from 1988-2007.  This dataset includes the 30 species surveyed, their taxonomic hierarchy, and their assigned codes.

These data were used in Colvard NB, Edmunds PJ. (2011).
