Abstract

A summary of the parameters recorded along each transect line during the Reef Check surveys in 2002 are shown in Tables 2, 3 and 4. A graphical summary of all sites combined is shown in Figures 4 - 7. An overall increase in coral cover was recorded, from 14 % in 2001 to 27 % in 2002. Figures 6 and 7 show a comparison of the mean benthic cover recorded during 2001 and 2002 surveys.
