Two and a half days (2015-03-12 to 03-14) were spent surveying and sampling around Danger Island (BiDi08-16.5; n=10 sites). Corals of the genus Seriatopora were not found there, and only very few Pocillopora damicornis colonies were seen (n=3), all of which (ChPd13-15) were sampled from a fringing reef not found on the map posted below (site 16.5 in the master data file).

BiDi08 (2015-03-12) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this site. Instead, I sampled P. verrucosa-like colonies for a collaborator.

coral cover=59%, algal cover=31.4%, benthic data

BiDi09 (2015-03-12) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this site. Instead, I sampled P. verrucosa-like colonies for a collaborator.

coral cover=37.7%, algal cover=33.2%, benthic data

BiDi10 (2015-03-12) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this site. Instead, I sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.

coral cover=23%, algal cover=56.9% (HIGH!), benthic data

BiDi11 (2015-03-12) did not dive.

coral cover=40.0%, algal cover=21.0%, benthic data

BiDi12 (2015-03-13) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this site. Instead, I sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.

coral cover=4.2%, algal cover=63.5% (HIGH!), benthic data

BiDi13 (2015-03-13) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this site. Instead, I sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.

coral cover=7.8%, algal cover=62.0%, benthic cover

BiDi14 (2015-03-13) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this site. Instead, I sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.

coral cover=15.2%, algal cover=59.5% (HIGH), benthic data

BiDi15 (2015-03-14) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this site. Instead, I sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.

coral cover=20.1%, algal cover=41.2%, benthic data

BiDi16 (2015-03-14) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this site. Instead, I sampled other Pocillopora spp. for a collaborator.

coral cover=30.4%, algal cover=37.5%, benthic data

BiDi16.5 (2015-03-14) Just me and a dive buddy went to this shallow fringing reef to hunt for P. damicornis colonies, and we found three (ChPd13-15).
