Methods

Coral cover was surveyed across 21 reef sites across the inner islands of Seychelles, both in no-take and in fished areas. Within each site, the percent cover of live hard coral, soft coral,macroalgae, sand, rubble, and rock was quantified visually in eight to sixteen 10 m line intercept transects. This time series refers to hard coral cover only, which was identified at the genus level.
