| Three different transect methods were compared at two different sites in Kenya, on their efficiency to estimate hard coral cover, genus richness and Shannon diversity index. For a modified line transect method (LTM), the line intercept method (LIT) and a linear point intercept (LPI) method the relative efficiency of the three methods was calculated with respect to the tested parameters. The three methods were examined along identical transect lines (10 m) and a total of 27 transect triplets were recorded in Vipingo and 21 in Mombasa. The correlation coefficients for all three ecological parameters were calculated for the three possible pairs of methods, and the accumulation curves plotted for each of the parameters using number of transects as the... |
