ZC: Mwen te yon manb nan ekip pwason an. Mwen te travay dirèkteman avèk twa lòt chèchè pou konte ak gwosè pwason Reef yo te jwenn ansanm liy transect nou an. Mwen te travay tou dirèkteman ak Enstitisyon Scripps nan Oseyanografi nan kolekte done bentom. Nou mete kanpe 10m x 10m simityè sou fon lanmè a ak te pran yon sekans nan foto nan simityè sa yo. Foto yo te koud ansanm pou fè yon kat detaye sou planche a. Sa bay nou yon gwo dosye pèmanan sou estrikti kominote a nan zòn sa a nan moman sa a. Nou konplimante done sa yo ak sondaj pwason yo konpare abondans pwason ak konpozisyon anba.

ZC: I was a member of the fish team. I worked directly with three other researchers to count and size reef fishes found along our transect line. I also worked directly with Scripps Institution of Oceanography to collect benthic data. We set up 10m x 10m plots on the seafloor and took a sequence of photos of these plots. The photos were later stitched together to make a detailed map of the sea floor. This provides us with a large permanent record of the community structure in that area at that time. We complimented these data with fish surveys to compare fish abundance with bottom composition.
