Benthic cover derived from structure from motion images collected during marine debris surveys at coral reef sites entangled with derelict fishing nets at Pearl and Hermes Atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands from missions in 2018 and 2021
The benthic cover and fishing-net related data described in this dataset are derived from the GIS analysis of benthic orthophotos. The source imagery was collected by snorkelers using a Structure from Motion (SfM) approach during swim surveys in search of derelict fishing nets. Surveys were conducted by the NOAA …
