These are videos from annual monitoring conducted at the SFCN coral monitoring site, Tektite (TK) at Virgin Islands National Park in 2024. Video is collected along twenty 10 m transects. Each video includes a short introduction (slate with descriptors), then moving with camera perpendicular to the bottom over the 10 meters, and finally the swim back to the origin of the transect with camera parallel to the bottom. The portion of the video, perpendicular to the bottom along the transect, is broken up into non-overlapping images which are then used to calculate benthic cover. See SOP CR01 for details.
