    "title": "Benthic data for corals, macroalgae, invertebrates, and non-living bottom types from Fagatele Bay, Pago Pago, and Fagasa, American Samoa, 2004-2008 (NCEI Accession 0066319)",
    "description": "This data set was derived from surveys in Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Pago Pago (Rainmaker and Aua), and Fagasa (Sita Bay and Cape Larsen) conducted in 2004 and 2007-2008.  Parameters include coral, algal, or invertebrate species, coral colony diameter size, and non-living bottom type.\n\nSummaries of species identification from sites above and Ofu-Olosega Islands, Ta'u Island, Aunu'u, Manu'a, and Rose Atoll, based on historic surveys back to 1917 are also given in spreadsheets.  This is a working list put together by Dr. Charles Birkeland.\n\nFish data were collected by Dr. Alison Green on the same dates and transects and are available in a separate NODC accession.",
