Friends of Reef Guam is a community monitoring project that trains members as citizen scientists to build local capacity in identification of species. From February 2013 through October 2019, members gathered benthic and macroinvertebrate cover in specific areas identified on Guam. During benthic surveys, members identified corals, algae, seagrass, sponges and macroinvertebrates. Identification of macroinvertebrates was collected by members as well through species, including; echinoderms, mollusks, and crustaceans. Data is supported by photos from the sites.
