Spatial surveys of carbonate chemistry conducted in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii from small boats during 2015 to 2017

Abstract

General study design: In this study, seawater carbonate chemistry samples were collected across a spatial array of stations across the barrier reef flat of Kāneʻohe Bay, Hawaiʻi. The study was designed to assess spatial variability in carbonate chemistry across the barrier reef flat during the 2015 fall coral bleaching event and during a year of recovery following the coral bleaching.
