Survey Sites Overview
The following table describes each site sampled in the NSF Virgin Islands project. Sites are separated according to the type of data collected at each location. Sampling frequency, depth, and temporal and spatial scale vary by data type. The majority of local-scale sites are situated on the south shore of St John, while the landscape-scale sites surround both St John and St Thomas. Pins on the Google map are clickable, and describe the same information found in the table.
