Abstract
As part of the reef-composition survey of Palau, Yap, and the Federated States of Micronesia, the erosion to a reef caused by sea urchins was estimated using field surveys, which captured the density and size of sea urchins in transects. 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/737514
