[Coral-List] Asking information on software of data analysis of vedio transect method.

[Jongrak Lee]

Dear list members,

I ,with my research groups, am currently planning a project of mapping soft 
coral community in southern area of Jeju island, Korea. It is both for 
establishing management guideline and providing the way of sustainable 
development by monitoring the soft coral community at long term base. The 
project would be done by vedio transect method.

I looked up some informations like "Hawaii Coral Reef Assessment & 
Monitoring Program(CRAMP)" and more, and found a PointCount'99 software. But 
I still wonder if there is any updated computer program or mapping method, 
ect.

Any information or comments would be greatly appreciated.


For your interesting, Marine environment of Jeju is famous for it's insular 
uniqueness and  abandunt soft coral such as non-photosynthetic Dendronephtya 
spp. and Scrleronephthy spp. among Korean coastal water, which resulted in 
designation of Korean MPA.

Hopefully, excuse my korean-english.

Yours,


Jongrak Lee
