Coral distribution in the leeward ocean reef and lagoon were controlled by physical conditions. Coral cover and number of coral species decreased with increased distance from the lagoon entrance. Jokiel and Maragos (1978) divided Abariringa (Canton) into various coral habitats including: leeward ocean reef zone, pass zone, altered zone, line reef zone in the lagoon, and back lagoon zone. Coral species list, precent coverage and frequency of occurance were provided for each zone surveyed. Overall, 29 percent of sites (7 sites) had live coral coverage of 0 to 25 percent and 71 percent of sites had live coral coverage of 25 to 50 percent (see also Lovell et al 2000). Cluster analysis was completed to compare species similarities between sites and zones. Species number and percent coral coverage increased towards the lagoon passage. Based on coral survey results, Jokiel and Maragos (1978) estimated the coral coverage of Abariringa (Canton). Results are provided in Table III-4.7 below. Table III-4.7. Estimated coral coverage of Abariringa (Canton) Atoll. (source: Jokiel and Maragos 1978). 11
PHOENIX ISLANDS PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN <strong>Chapter</strong> III. Background, 4. Marine Resources Draft 1 March 2007 Total area covered by dominate coral species were also estimated for each zone surveyed (Jokiel and Maragos 1978). Results are provided in Table III-4.8 below. Table III-4.8. Estimated area of dominate coral species for key zones on Abariringa (Canton). (source: Jokiel and Maragos 1978) 12
