attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Transect surveys were conducted at 6 sites on the south shore of St John, within the U.S. Virgin Islands National Park during the summers of 2021 and 2022. Depending on the site, 3 to 6 transects were established. Identity and heights of all arborescent octocorals greater than or equal to 5 centimeters were recorded from 1 square meter quadrats on the transects. The position of colonies relative to the site, meter on the transect, and side of the quadrat are included. Surveys were conducted by Drs. Howard Lasker and Christopher Wells of the University at Buffalo.
