Spot check photo surveys were undertaken in June 2020 at an additional 25 sites. • Photos from transects were sampled as per AIMS LTMP methods in Jonker et al. 2008. Spot check photos were sampled using a similar method. • Data were collected from tagged colonies of A.millepora at 4 locations. Approximately 350 colonies were tagged across Shelving Bay, Halfway, Mazie and Pumpkin Island. • Data were analysed using a number of statistical analyses (glm, glmm) in order to identify changes in coral cover and bleaching between sites and depths and time periods. • The relationship between eReef derived temperatures and currents and both bleaching and rates of recovery from bleaching were also examined. This study examined the following parameters: Abundance of coral biota Taxonomic identity of biota Bleaching status of biota Rates of water flow Water temperatures {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[150.84619721535532, -23.234799736020324], [151.12135508577379, -23.234799736020324], [151.12135508577379, -23.01269556959142], [150.84619721535532, -23.01269556959142], [150.84619721535532, -23.234799736020324]]]} 150.84619721535532 151.12135508577379 -23.234799736020324 -23.01269556959142 Bleaching Environmental Analyses [Rmd file size: 55KB] documentDigital Bleaching Environmental Analyses [Rmd file size: 55KB] HTML Page et al (2022) Bleaching Analysis [R file size: 5KB] documentDigital Page et al (2022) Bleaching Analysis [R file size: 5KB] HTML Page et al (2022) Keppel 2020 Bleaching Data [Excel file size: 3.29MB] documentDigital Page et al (2022) Keppel 2020 Bleaching Data [Excel file size: 3.29MB] XLSX Jonker M, Johns K and Osborne K (2008) Surveys of benthic reef communities using underwater digital photography and counts of juvenile corals.
