Abstract
These data describe the percentage coral cover from 1992 to 2019 at the size study sites between Cabritte Horn and White Point using photoqudrats as statistical replicates. The data support Fig. 3C in Edmunds and Perry (2023) and provide context to the study of changes in coral colony size, density, and G over time.
For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/897544
