We dived at Speaker’s Bank seven times between 2015-04-24 and 05-03: BiSp89-90 on 2015-04-24, BiSp95-96 on 2015-04-26, BiSp100-101 on 2015-04-28, and BiSp115 on 2015-05-03.
BiSp89 (2015-04-24) Two P. acuta/damicornis (ChPd114-115) and three Seriatopora spp. (ChSe125-127) colonies were sampled from this leeward lagoonal patch reef site.
coral cover=33.2%, algal cover=54.6%, benthic data
BiSp90 (2015-04-24) Neither P. acuta nor P. damicornis were observed at this submerged bank reef; instead, other pocilloporids, as well as four Seriatopora spp. (ChSe128-131), were sampled for collaborators. coral cover=39.8%, algal cover=43,4%, benthic data.
BiSp95 (2015-04-26) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this leeward lagoonal patch reef; instead, other pocilloporids were sampled for collaborators.
coral cover=56.9%, algal cover=26.7%, benthic data
BiSp96 (2015-04-26) Neither P. acuta nor P. damicornis was observed at this windward rim reef; instead, other pocilloporids, as well as a lone Seriatopora sp. (ChSe142), were sampled for collaborators.
coral cover=86.0% (WOW!), algal cover=10.4%, benthic data
BiSp100 (2015-04-28) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this bank forereef; instead, other pocilloporids were sampled for collaborators.
coral cover=53.9%, algal cover=24.5%, benthic data
BiSp101 (2015-04-28) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this bank back reef; instead, other pocilloporids were sampled for collaborators.
coral cover=50.0%, algal cover=39.4%, benthic data
BiSp115 (2015-05-03) Neither P. acuta/damicornis nor Seriatopora spp. were observed at this windward-facing submerged bank; instead, other pocilloporids were sampled for collaborators.
coral cover=42.2%, algal cover=44.8%, benthic data
