The FDOU-51 local action strategy is primarily interested in the investigation of the three subsystems that comprise the Coral ECA: the living benthic habitat, the reef fish communities, and the water quality conditions. The major tasks of Phase II were to compile a dataset pairing together the two biological subsystems (benthic habitat + reef fishes) in the Coral ECA, and to analyze them simultaneously in search of patterns in the composition and abundance of the benthic and fish categories.”
