Hard or soft coral dominance was classified when live coral cover was estimated to be >10%. Hard/soft coral dominance was mapped by interpreting aerial photos and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) imagery using manual and semi-automated methods. This class was experimental, and was included in this mapping effort to provide resource managers with additional information about corals. “N/A" denotes that live coral cover was 0% -<10%, is not appropriate for this particular major biological cover class (e.g., for Land). "Unknown" indicates that the dominant coral cover type was not classified because the structure and/or biological cover types were unknown. |
