    • 2011 PR Survey data

    Metadata Updated: November 12, 2020

    EPA conducted a probabilistic survey at 64 stations from linear reef habitat along the southern coastline of Puerto Rico to characterize the regional condition of coral reef inhabitants. The probabilistic design was the first step toward establishing a long-term monitoring program for biological water quality standards (such as biocriteria) in Puerto Rico using these indicators. The target population was limited to coral reef and hardbottom substrate within 1.5 km o f shore and between 2-12 m depth. Divers dropped a buoy at the appropriate station coordinates and assessed the reef resources at the best available habitat within a 20 m radius of the buoy. If suitable habitat was not found, the next ___location on the predetermined site list was chosen.
