One day (2015-1-12) was spent surveying and sampling the reefs of the Uchelbeluu and Rebotel region, which are located on opposite sides of the main island chain.

Sites PaUc07-08 can be found to the map’s right (east). Rebotel Reef (see next image.) is located to the west of Pincher Reef. High-resolution habitat maps will eventually be available on the Living Oceans Foundation’s world reef map website.

Rebotel Reef (PaRe09). Please note that GPS coordinates for all sites can be found on the “Palau overview” page.
